What about Cagiva Navigator??? Cagiva moved from Ducati motor[Elefant] to Suzuki v twin 1000cc, they got good reviews when released. I got one- but have yet to ride it off road. It goes good on the road and feels a heap smaller than my Vstrom, and more powerful. They have a Kooky size front wheel, and poxxy plastics, but steel trellis frame ,good brakes and suspension, suzuki reliability/longevity/serviceability, with European quality running gear. I ride with a mate that has a 750 Elefant[not for sale] I have not ridden it- but its in the shed and he rides a BMW R100GS now?? Fraser had the Elefants in Newcastle and could not give them away when they were new??
I think the Ducati motor is good but the Suzy is better, and the frame is probably identical or very close.......
Sorry if I offended anyone
