Went out today with friends for a run to Helmesley, N Yorks. I led the way as I wanted to cut across country rather than the usual routes (all speed no scenery). By the time we got to Helmesley the bikes looked like they had been dipped in a swamp, mud and crap all over. friends not happy at all. The other bikes -fazer 1000 and BlackBird.
The Anakee's are sure footed in wet, extra wet and mud, loads of mud. I think for once I made the right choice.
Took 30 mins to pressure wash down but well worth the effort.
Plenty BMW GS bikes out and about but still they hardly give you the time of day. Never mind their loss.
