Well after 13 years and three Buells ('98 3ST, '03 XB9S and '06 XB12X) I've moved on, simply because there are no more Buells to be had.

Harley-Davidson has absolutely nothing in their current product line and corporate thinking that interests me...

This left one obvious choice for me:

BMW

'11 R1200GS


2011 BMW R1200GS


I'm smitten!

Very nice - are you sure you want to take that out and get it dirty?

I wish I was secure enough to wear suspenders with my jeans - boy that looks comfy.

Ahhh, buy a BMW, drink beer from 2 liter steins and listen to oompah bands. It don't get any better than that.

Apples and oranges - what is your impressions of the GS vs the Uly? Smoother? Comfy? Do you hear a girl with a German accent saying "faster"?

Looks like the bike's about to tip, someone fix that sidestand!
Yeah, I may go that route someday when I have a pocketful of cash, but with our current administration's economy all I have is "change" (well that's what he promised!)

Have fun & ride sicheren!

It's an optical illusion... I just looks like it's going to flop!

Now I know where the guy who designed the S2's sidestand ended up.
Have fun with it, handsome bike.

That's a really good looking bike and I'll be eager to hear how you like it.

Anytime I think of getting a new "latest and greatest" I just figure a good cleaning would make my ULY seem new and then I just lay down and forgetaboutit since that would be too darned much work.

110 miles .... So far so good.... Getting my muscle memory reprogrammed for the German sense of ergonomics ...particulary the directionals has been an interesting memory battle.... It's a stupid little thing, but I suppose I'll get used to it.... The ride is nothing short of phenomenal due to the ESA.... More as I adjust...

....Developing...
