I made this comment below in regard to sixth gear and it got me thinking. Many of you and myself yearn for a one bike does all. Some not so much as you have a style of riding you like and your bike does it perfect.
I has a 650gsxf (originally bought as a spare bike to keep at a beach condo) I used as single do all duty for a while after realizing its versatility. But style wise. Wanted more retro.
I choose to have multiple bikes for now.
But if it was one. What would it be???
What is your ultimate Swiss army equivalent in a moto?

My comment below

Depends on the riders opinion I suppose. I personally find 6th gear not necessary but if someone was wanting to do some more touring or significant highway driving I would imagine it would be helpful. People will use this bike for a wide range of riding but I'd think there would be better choices for touring or highway driving.

My cb is really an around towner and short day ride duty. For other rides I'd pick one of its stable mates. I suppose with a 6th gear one could really make it a one bike does all. Sort of. Depending how comfy the cb would be on long rides.
My wife and I did a fairly intense ride for just a few hours and she remarked our other bike (sport tour) being much more comfortable for her on a ride like that.
