As nice as it is I'd sure hate to trouble shoot anything out on the road or dirt.
Do they lease them?:lol8:
True, its no different then any modern day BMW.Quote:

He'd put it down and done something to the rear drive system (I guess they have a funky drive system). When we got to Baker we used a cell phone to give the gps points to his buddy and what was going on out there. We offered to go back to our jeep and come get him but he said to just call this guy.
Now on my DR650 I feel like there's not very much that can truly strand me in the middle of nowhere unless its catastrophic. But a GS would sure be fun.
Whats the rocker/roller thing on the clutch side handle bar?
I was wondering that too. I bet its a dial that controls the compter system.Quote:

Way to starbucks for this guy.
Hell I bet that bike costs $300 just for a look at the appointment book for service.
You know that it was said once that I never stole a horse from somebody I didn't like (BILLY THE KID) so hurry up Scott I got a horse to steal :lol8:
It's pretty hard to beat a Beemer but Yamaha is closing the gap somewhat with their super T.
And The Triple is getting in there as well.
And KLR and what ever that Suzuki DR is like forget it baby..
Actually Suzuki does have one that is pretty nice but they never figured out just were to put their exhaust.
But I have a great idea.LOL
You mentioned KLR in this thread???
That's a sin in Beemer country. :nono: :lol8:
Honestly it might be a few years before they have the bugs worked out. The first few years of any new model can be risky.
I may have to roll a 2012 for a few years. Which color? :naughty:

Oh that's easy---I"M BACK IN BLACK
Has acdc all over it man.
Yeup easy to clean or make look clean and it has some great lines to me.
That white one looks like something I'd put my mistress on.
WIth tan and in a white bikini.
With big enough mameries to fill the slots in the windscreen.
And this funky Mark just gave me white lips look. LMAO
The white one is nice if they shit canned the tank colors and made the frame the same as the tank front and head covers.
Maybe that shitty little front fender same color as well. And a white rear seat. That needs to come off for a real rack of some sort.
I still like the yellow and black ones best myself from later times.
I think they stopped that and used it for the 800s right?
Yep I like the black one myself, It's like in conffusion and the Hardly riders will think it is one of them other black ones till you throttle up. (POOR SAPS)
SEE YA in a whisper.
