    No I didn't. The bike that got me looking at buying a BMW was the K1300S


    I want a bike that is comfortable to tour on and is a good bike for two up. The rr is way too crotch rocket for my old bones.

      Aren't the 6 cylinder models about the same price? With MORE of what you are looking for?
      About a hundred pounds heavier though... http://haulbikes.wordpress.com/tag/b...r-motorcycles/

        Lot more than a hundred pounds. The 1300r is 536lbs gotta think the 6 cylinder one is another 200lbs.

        I like a naked bike (and women..ah thank you)
        I don't want a bike that is really for touring only. I do most of my riding by myself. I feel like I'm in the awkward age of not wanting a crotch rocket but not ready for a fairing tour bus. I hope I have made the right choice.
        I have done a ton of research but the proof will be in the riding!

          Was it raining when Jonah was swallowed by the fish?

            Lol...might have it Saturday. If not it will be Tuesday.
            And the weather has been great the last couple of days.

              BMWs are rain proof. I tested it many many times.

                      Took a quick scoot over to the dealer to see Trevor and his new bike. He's pacing back and forth like an expectant father! Good news Trevor! It's a boy!!!

                          This has me very worried. Somebody PM me and tell me if the pics are of the bike and not Trevor bending over. I won't look at this thread again until I know it's safe.

                              Looking at it instead of riding it?

                              That is creepy.

                                I don't drink and drive. You don't have to worry about me riding it.
