Any other mongers like to ride motorcycles? I am thinking about buying a BMW K 1200 LT. However, the sticker price is making me think twice. 22k could buy me lots of sessions in ZB with Lorena!

Get a Harley

I am a lifelong BMW rider and it is hard to beat the quality, durability and efficiency of the BMW motorcycles. I suggest you decide on type of riding first. The 1200C is a cruiser and not as suitable for sport riding or long distance ridings as other models are.

Japanese bikes are flawless and run forever at lost initial cost and low maintenance cost. Harleys have image. Pick a good ride at a good cost and save the bucks for ticas. PS BMW's are also flawless, but at an Euro adjusted price. Don't pay more than you have to for a good ride. Decide if you want a street bike, a ninja bike a chopper or a cruiser and then make a best value selection. My 7 years old Honda 750 Shadow Ace looks like new and costs nearly nothing to operate or maintain. I'd like a Harley, but I'm too stupid to fix it when it breaks down at the wrong time.

Thanks for the info. While I like Harleys I think they are mostly about image and looking cool during bike week. I'd rather have a BMW that will last me forever and not take a rocket scientist to repair. I am also definately getting a touring model as I am not 18 anymore!

I ride an '04 Honda Shadow 1100 V-Twin. I've only put 4,000 miles on it, but it runs and rides flawlessly. My only complaint, is that I wish it were louder, to give me a better presence on the road. I'm not a "biker" so I don't really care to buy a Harley. But there's nothing like the sound of a nice hog, and because they're so loud, it makes it much easier for people (cars) around you to hear you. I've had a couple close calls on my bike, and if it were louder, they might've been avoided. Either way, if you ride - be careful. Everyone on the road is in a hurry, and noone sees you!

JW- here in Florida if you have $10k in insurance coverage you don't have to wear a helmet. I don't know what the laws are in your neck of the woods, but I would encourage you to wear a helmet when you ride. Good luck in your motorcycle endeavors.

there is no way i am clicking on that

Just bought the BMW K 1200 LT. Love it!!! Can't wait for the weekend. Plan on driving down to Jersey to see a friend.

Think the weather will be fine by the weekend. Nevertheless, it is a touring bike and will handle fine in inclement weather.

Jim,
Owned 2 BMW's,along with rice rockets and Harleys. BMW was my favorite. Had an old R100. Rode that bike everywhere. Toured Novia Scotia on that for 4 days, never fataguied. Still owe a speeding ticket ( over 20 years ago) How was i supposed to know that 100 KPH was only like 65 MPH???
I have a '95 K75s that i hit a deer on. By the grace of God, I'm still here. Killed the deer, a little damage to the bike, but other than that, no problems.
You made a fine choice........
