Nope. The cheap old Cross Roads is my pick of the bunch. I'm going for lightest remember.

I *really* like the Cross Roads, too.

If I thought the Sgt.-Major (wife) wouldn't mind.....I'd go find one. (kind of hard in Montana.)

But I do want a bagger, and I don't like Harley Touring bikes--they're too slow!

Faber, I would of thought a Ulysses would be more appropriate up there in MT? plus you can get bags on it!

I have a KLR, which is a lot of fun. Good for finding ghost towns, or for high-altitude fishing/camping trips. I need to do something real KLR-like to it, like put on some old .50 cal ammo cans for bags For now, I just bungee a couple of drysacks.

Really the bike to have in the northern Rockies is a sport-tourer: fast and smooth on the long flatland miles, and nimble enough for the high mountain twisties. Just have to keep adding to the stable

I imagine a K1300GT or the new Multistrada would be fun in CO, too.
