I find myself without a bike for the first time in 17 years, after mine was stolen. All I’ve had have been 600 or 1000 crotch rockets, and I’d like to switch to something a bit different without giving up too much power. Dream bike would be a M1000R, but it’s slightly out of budget at the moment. Most of my riding will hopefully be twisty, British Columbia highway jaunts, but I wouldn’t mind being able to commute to work, so something that can hold a small bit of luggage would be great. I wouldn’t mind trying out a super moto, like a GasGas 700 / Husqvarna 701 / KTM 690 SMC R. Grok suggested the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT. Maybe a Yamaha XSR900? Help!

Q: Can I substitute a different exercise for one of the specified ones?

A: Sure you can, but then you are no longer doing StrongLifts5x5. There’s only 5 of them and they all serve a purpose.

Q: Can I do StrongLifts5x5 with dumbells/kettlebells/bodyweight/etc.?

A: No. StrongLifts5x5 is a barbell program. Here’s the link to [The Dumbbell Stopgap](http://www.reddit.co
