I really like the Norge. It is a very comfortable, fast touring bike. It is distinctive and seems well-designed and well-made. It offers long range, a broad power band, excellent wind and weather protection, and it is suprisingly agile given its size (~565 lbs). It carries a lot of gear and a ...

Adding my 2 cents -

I can't measure it, but this seems conservative. I notice the difference. Maybe the wet clutch has other benefits, but if ...

I bought my 1000S DS in September from Samson at Pro Italia.
