Who am I and my motorcyles

Hello

I'm from Porto, Portugal! I love motorcycles, I've riding since 2009, and until today I had about 10 different models.

Currently my ride is an Africa Twin XRV 650 RD03 1989! The real one!! I bought it after selling my GSX-R 1000 K8, I sold it because I had a kid and needed to ride slower, take less chances! So I bought it with 15000km on the clock, seemed a bike that was stopped many years, at least that was the story from who sold me that he found it on a garage and received it as a pay for a job, when I opened the engine to change the clutch the few parts I could see looked new, so it may have only those kilometers, still somethings look strange, the HRC logo is the wrong one and my dashboard seems almost unique, has I have the sidestand light on the rev counter, and only five light on the light box... She has some rust on the frame, and soon I will restore everything, the frame will be powder coated, bolts and stuff zincked, basically a proper job! For this I will need another motorcycle as I only go to work by motorcycle, yes even in the winter with heavy rain I can stand be inside a car in traffic!

I'm in the look out for a new one, still deciding what to get I'm thinking on returning to fast bikes but this time SportTouring instead of SuperSport, I'm in love with the new Kawasaki ZZR 1400, or maybe a VFR 1200... But they are expensive and I need to think this through so currently I'm thinking on a budget dual sports as the winter is coming! :)

I always wanted a Suzuki DR 650 post 1996 maybe this is the time or I could get one Honda Dominator love them good solid bikes.
