antonio carroccio Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I may have found the second bike I've been searching for, Not outragous, generous riding position (respectively speaking), Reasonable price(agin Respectively) Naked Like I'm also Drawn too from a Company that is more stable than the Sands Hotel AND the biggest selling factor is that it will be able to come with large touring bags almost identical to the Adventuer series out now. 160bhp 94flt lbs (and can be imporved with open airbox and new exhaust) Only 15kish tho I know there are some BMW Buffs floating around on this board anyone have some thoughts or experience? I know ugly to one is a jewel to another. Of coarse I'll have to sit on it and take it for a spin(if they let me) b4 I drop that kind of bank on a bike but I think I'm in love,.... for now 51609[/snapback] Well I do have to confess, this bike looks good like he looks ugly... Like the dog Boxer, he is ugly in his beauty. Did I make myself clear? I would have a ride on this new BMW… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd haven Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 and a British designed, Japanese engined, German built big single..... Do you know what it is yet? Nige. 51668[/snapback] Not sure of the Brit-designed part, but the rest sounds like MuZ. (or MZ as they now call it) Do I get half a quiz-point?

Guest davidb Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 bmw f650? Is austrian built considered german? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidb Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 My r1100s BCR didn't feel and sound like it had personality (best looking bike ever built) but 2000$ fixed the sound/soul problem... Remus race exhaust, san jose power filter and induct, k12 fuel regulator. I would like to have a Aprilia with some good loud exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlaing Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I am of strong opinion that 1 bike cannot do all. To think this is to offer yourself a dis-service. I'm quite happy with my little group of widely varied bikes, but am missing a modern superbike.snip a post 2002 ZX12 [the early ones had problems] with heli bar kit. snip Anyways, that's the next one. Ciao, Steve G. I guess it is time to modify your signature...Maybe you could make a top 11 instead of to 10 dream bike list. I don't think I want to own a Japanese crotch rocket, but I would love to get to know one for about a week, just to explore the power, etc. What is the most comfortable Japanese crotch rocket under #500?

Guest Nogbad Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I am quite tempted by the Ducati Multistrada. If they had given it a shaft or a belt drive it could possibly part me from the V11........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I'm seriously thinking about a Suzuki SV1000 in my future. I love twin power, and it would be sort of nice to try out a lighter, water-cooled version. Not that I would EVER get rid of the Guzz. Also, I have to admit, they sound pretty nice. I don't think I'd like an in-line four coming out of corners. With a twin, there is little chance the rear end will ever break loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard good reports of the SV1000 and they are cheap. See S.O.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I'd like to buy a second bike but then I would have to sell 8 bikes first so it is too complicated for me and I will stick with 9 bikes. It will be much simpler that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex-Corsa Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 If I bought a second bike or more , I wouldn't know which one to pick up for a ride and stay home, No thanks. If I buy a second it would be tha same so I put it on my room and stare at it all the time. Concerning the thread theme, I never understood what would be the Real World usage potential of any bike with so many PS and no descent fairing-air protection. Have you though about it?

Guest bshpilot Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 the only thing id say is NEVER buy 1st model year ANYTHING...i suffered a fair amount (and still do, to a degree) w/ my bmw...certainly its not the 1st year they ever did Fuel Injection but its the heart of most of my complaints (other issues were finally resolved)...and i know for at least 2 model years afterwards they still didnt sort it out. bmw has a history of DENIAL...theyll tell you time and time again theres nothing wrong w/ it...and then theyll tell the press they sorted the issues in following years.
