agreed wholeheartedly. That's probably why i don't enjoy riding in SG. 

this year's NBW was at Changi Exhibition Center. Hot & humid. The worst thing is the air-conditioning in the hall wasn't switched on. Tough on the visitors. Torture for the sales staff working inside. I went there early before the crowds rolled in.

thanks for the feedback.

The new R1300GS is quite interesting, with the auto-height adjustment and lighter weight compared to it's predecessors. Although size-wise, i am more keen on the F900GS. I'm surprised the 800/850/900 are not more popular here. 

yeah i'm also concerned abt the small spaces and parking situations esp up north, where the ground surface isn't pristine. And i usually go alone, so need to be self-reliant. 

over the weekend, i was telling a friend that i also need to check out the Triumph Tiger range. Simply too many options to consider.

Yah. The F GSes are very capable bikes, but like the Transalp you guys were discussing, just doesn't have the mass market appeal here, ie. Cl2 riders always want to get the biggest, baddest thing.

I heard the new Tigers are a big improvement, never tried. Friend says its definitely easier to put the newer Tiger on the mainstand compared to his dinosaur 800 XCX. Haha.
