The MAM Journals -Suzuki 800 RE - A Universal Japanese Adventure (UJA) bike of today?

The Suzuki 800 Road Explorer is the latest bike from Suzuki with the new 776cc Parallel Twin . I go through the specifications of the bike , go for a ride and then come to some conclusions. I also reflect on the price of bikes today . Are they really more expensive than they were "back in the day" or is it just that everything else has gone up?
Many years ago we referred to Japanese four cylinders , in a cradle frame as UJM , Universal Japanese Motorbikes . Good value, reliable and capable . Are these new generation of adventure bikes , the UJA , "Universal Japanese Adventure" bikes of our time ?
