Bought my TDM after tree years on a BMW F650. Miss the playfulness and agility of the beemer, but enjoy the elevated comfort (specially for long distance touring) and the stronger engine. Have put less than 2000 km on the TDM, so I have not an opinion of durability and technical /mecanical quality. When (or if?) I get done with long distance touring I will get back to a small(er) and fun thumper.
