I'm 27 and ride a Funduro - commute 55 miles a day down the M6, i needed a bike that was cheap to run, reliable, can work on myself, was tall, sit and beg style, didnt need treating with much care (dont have the time to sit and clean all the time), slim enough to squeeze through heavy traffic(mounting pavements sometimes even) with the option to throw on some panniers and a top box to go weekend camping, and trips to europe without the worry that the bike will let me down - I'm that confident with my bike.
The funduro ticks all the boxes - however i do regulary think about upgrading to the 1150 but then i think about the running costs, maintenence, weight, size, and it puts me right off.
Stuck some metzeler tyres on before the winter, and havent missed a day out on her yet - the perfect bike to me. And on the subject of the vibrations - yeah it vibrates but it was never built to cruise at 90+, however it all depends who's riding the bike, the bike is more than capable of holding its own with the bigger bikes on twisties and busy motorways - regulary i can out pace sports tourers, sports bikes, even bigger BMW's due to the funduro being nimble, thin (even with panniers on), and the seating position allows you to read the roads quickly and effectively..
Even if i do get another bike in the future (previosuly owned around 15 of all shapes and sizes) - the funduro is staying with me.
Looking forward to heading to scotland in June - and i'm told its F650 territory around their so cant wait!!
