18 months in with the DSX 900, is it time for a change. It's a tough one, our local roads benefit from a long travel suspension bike, the downside is the height of the centre of gravity. Whilst 500km trips in a day are no problem, if it's mostly well paved roads would a super comfortable tourer best suit our needs. Don't get me wrong, the power and touring capacity of the DSX 900 is amazing especially with cruise control, but when I ride my heavier Guzzi 1100i it's very comfortable and intimidating, yet still munches the miles. Decisions? Would a 1400 California with full luggage be better suited for Spain and it's open highways?
