Posted June 2, 200618 yr A deal was done today, and the Beemer leaves the building next Wenesday! It's being part exed for a brand new bike. I can't knock the Beemer, it used no oil and never missed a beat. The only minor glitch was the brake problems, and a defective throttle linkage and horn which was replaced today. All FOC. It may have run forever, it may explode tomorrow. Who knows? And once the warranty expires in a few months I'd be footing the bill for potentially very expensive parts, and extortionate BMW labour charges. I'm not going to run that risk, and bearing in mind that I very often end up in totally remote places with no mobile reception....I need to trust it with my life. And I can't make that commitment. Bottom line.....the handling, suspension, and comfort were superb. But I just didn't have the confidence in it that I'd have in a Jap bike. And I never would. So bye bye Beemer.....enter ???????? You know the drill by now.....so start speculating on what Bike 54 will be!
June 2, 200618 yr Moderator Seeing how your wife might have a say in this .....& the fact that she's accustomed to the comfy Beemer..... I'd fair to speculate a:........ FJR13

June 4, 200618 yr Theres no way Pete will go for a R1 look at the traffic behind him in the photo he likes to ride his bikes slowly. I reckon your down sizing maybe DT 50
