They will adjust the deal to cater for larger mileage.
Or you can just pay the excess mileage.
Or it doesn't really matter at all if you're going to keep the bike.
Seems like a bit of a flimsy reason
I guess I could keep my current commuter and divide my commuting between them....Or you can just pay the excess mileage.

Do I need 4 bikes??? I think so

Track bike
Road sports bike
Cb500x
AT
I'm continuing to use my existing commuter for work. With the AT doing it every now and then. Like you I do 3-4000 miles per month on my commuter. Will be using the AT as a tourer for me and the mrs as we go out a lot. I will also be doing 3 months touring all over in 2019z
Eventually it will replace my cb500x as a commuter. I am keeping it anyway after the 3 years so don't care about the miles.
Basically I did some wky man logic and the answer was buy one. So glad I did.
I am so jealous! I'd love one of these and it seems like such a great deal too.
it's really not a good time for me to be buying a new bike though. I think if I did my upcoming move would be back in with my parents instead of to a new place with my fiance. Of course, I'd have the bike though...

I thought this. But the DCT is really quite enjoyable. I have it in D mode but you can still shift up and down if you want to
I can't get used to D mode, it just seems to want to bog down all the time. Mine just stays in S1 for towns, S2 for anything else... Well, until the first service anyway!I went for a short 50 mile ride in the Dales yesterday, in the rain, I loved it! It feels so much quicker than anything else I've owned on these roads, just because it deals with them better, and it's also enjoyable at much slower speeds... I love the DCT too, it's always in the right gear, and you can still downshift yourself ahead of a corner if needed

The guy said that you can choose at what point it shifts up and down, will need to read the manual at some point.
The way it goes through the gears in D is way too fast to the point of where it is labouring.
I have just kept it in S2 and upshift sooner at times and its great fun. Down shifting i just let the bike do those.
The buffeting is really bad, i get blurred vision at speeds so i think i will go for the MRA vario touring screen and the forkshields.
