Default I am a turncoat.

For years I have made fun of the BMW yuppies. I am one of them now. I took a Boxer Cup 1100s out for a test ride and bought it dead on the spot as soon as I got back. I have owned GSXR's (01 600, 05 750) CBR's (97 600, 98 900) and a Triumph Daytona (01 595). I have ridden a plethra of different bikes as well.

In the straight aways it is kindda lacking, but in the turns OMFG. I can do on that bike the same as the 750 but its SMOOTH. I mean ******* smoooooooth.

Very happy with it so far.

Stolen quote from a buddy of mine:

"It's not what you ride, it's that you ride."

Sticky side down.

cool stuff d00de

My older brother is dead set on the K1200R Sport. It's a really nice bike and the 3/36000 warranty isn't bad either.

I'm thinking about a BMW too. They seem like they are more "grownups" bikes. + you can't ride a sportbike to it's full potential on public roads without getting busted sooner or later.

Now that you own a BMW, you are required to wear a reflective vest at all times, use an aerostitch suit, grow a moustache, and wear a flip-up helmet

They arent saddlebags anymore when you own a BMW, they're "panniers".

Everyone I know that rides a BMW is "eccentric" in their own special way.
