If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.
Skip on here, has been riding one the past 7 or 8 years. I think he has put a little over 60k miles on his. I've ridden one a bit and it's a great handling bike. The riding position is between upright and a crotch rocket, and I thought comfortable. It's a carbureted bike, not FI. It is significantly quicker than a GS1150E though. heh

I think they are rated at 135 rear wheel horsepower, significantly more than the 1150.
I thought they were closer to 145 hp, but never really checked stats.
DMPLATT is another member with one. Also a 2002 if i remember right.
I know he is happy with his.

A very close friend of mine has had an '02 for about 9 years. He still has it and it has 60K+ on it. I've spent a lot of time on it and judged that it is a great sport tourer....with the emphasis leaning towards sport. It has the needed heft and does have the inline four buzz at certain rpms..... but it isn't annoying. It's just letting you know that it can claw at the pavement and get you into trouble very quickly.
A good bike.
