If informative posts getting deleted and all that crap then from now on I will refrain from coming to this particular subforum and share my knowledge about any bike, BMW or otherwise. Apparently you people don't want to hear about the bad quality control issues or design issues.

QUOTE=eBBs15;229509]Oh well. At the end of the day ill buy what I want... And where I want[/QUOTE]
And you will get a GS....unless Trip decides that HE wants a different bike... Hell I don't know shit about any of them but the little bit of "research" I've done () has shown me one thing. These bikes are all, including the Suzuki, the Ducati, the Aprillia and the Buell very different and have different strengths and weaknesses depending on what you want to use them for. Old review but interesting, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4wxXZQ737w I don't know You can get one of these for $4-5,000 in really good shape, I fully admit to being a Suzuki fanboy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXYSlNu1H3Q Hell with the money you save, you could upgrade the suspension if you are really serious about off road. Racetech is but a phone call away! |

No problem... um are you dead too? It's funny, I hit "reply" and went and got my "research" stuff together and all the posts were gone.... Anyway, I'm cheap and dollar for dollar I don't understand where all that extra money goes for the other European bikes. I mean I understand that there are electronic gadgets, I'm just not sure a competent rider needs most of them...

But the constant bashing on my Buell is fine.
