In this episode, we dive headfirst into the battle of the middleweight adventure tourers.  We stack up the Suzuki V-Strom 800, the Yamaha Tracer 9 and the new Kawasaki Versys 900 as we debate which machine reigns supreme for long trips, backroads and everything in between.
Then Jan reads a listeners dilemma: Head vs Heart.  Should our listener stick with their dream Honda CBR600 or bite the bullet and buy a sensible, comfortable tourer for the long haul?
Finally, stick around for The Ross Report as Ross takes the brutal BMW S1000R for a spin.  Does it live up to the hype?
