Time will tell. No one in my area relies on an EV, they all have an ICE vehicle in addition. 8% of households in my immediate area virtue signal, it was 11% but the "leaf" was an expensive disaster.

Re m/c tanks, buy a Ténéré before the prices rocket.

I think; as the situation is in the UK at the minute, it makes sense for many households to have an EV and an ICE car.  This would work for me with an EV van and a diesel car.  No one is 'virtue signalling' with an electric car it is a lot of cash and a sensible decision as they are better than ICE in so many ways although they can be problematic until the infrastructure catches up.  In four or five years time EV will be the popular choice.

The Ténéré is too tall for me.  I like the CF Moto 450MT and might be tempted when new stock arrives.  The old Yamaha XT range always was a good option.  I liked the 500 but they are bonkers money now.  There is - I think - a new 600 coming?  Might be worth a look.  Adventure bikes are the fashion go-to right now but not my thing as a main bike.  I will keep my GSX for the minute - it does everything I need for road use and cannot depreciate any more.  I looked at the Triumph Trident 660 but it is not as good a bike as the one I have.

As long as I can buy petrol I intend to keep the Suzuki.  I will be dead by the time it is illegal to ride it ☺️
