In June 2018 I bought a brandnew 1090 adv.r. I’m very exited about it. At first I was not so eager for having the Akrapovic exhaust, but it came with the panniers. But now I just love the grunt of it. The look of the attracks people and invites to search for rough roads. Before I owned a Honda vtr 1000 firestorm, a Yamaha fjr 1300 and a Yamaha xv 1600 Wildstar. All lovely bikes.

Congrats on the new 1090 and welcome to the forum! Did you make the swap to an adv bike for the different ergonomics or are you planning on doing some trail riding?

I bet its for trail riding especially for someone like OP that's coming from bigger and heavier bikes which don't allow for much venturing off road.
