thinking about another bike - Page 3

If I had your Husky and lived where you do, this is what I would buy: BMW K1200S with the ESA: http://denver.craigslist.org/mcd/2869123480.html. I test rode one and liked it way more than BMW's 1000RR. Big, fast, sporty, and comfortable.

Quoting their sales manager's email:

Sorry, I have a 2011. I haven't gotten deep into the 2012 product line.

The k13s is a brilliant motorcycle. Too bad it's HUGE.

There might be a new one in stock still somewhere else from the previous year.

I'm loving my hypermotard, it has been a fun experience so far.

My dealer also has two desmosedici's in the back, I hear they are good bikes

local aprilia dealer who really wanted to be the ducati dealer has a desmo on the floor, seen a few at the local duc dealer.

yes awesome sounding machines!

I'm starting to get my wits about me and think if I do get a second bike, it should just be one that I can ride like crazy and not worry about. The CB1000R, while not as inspiring as a Ducati, should give me years of trouble-free riding, and let me save the Husky for those rides where I'll be leaving the pavement.
