Although it's its design looks a tad awkward it'll probably run circles around any harley.. Lol. I've always been curios about the BMW bikes. They do have a solid rep and following. Would that be classified as an adventure bike with some off road capability?

I am shocked to discover a die hard Harley man would consider another brand. My 58 BMW I had when younger was a pleasure to ride although ugly as mud. It seems BMW goes out of their way to make the ugliest bike possible. Ugly they may be, but a fine riding bike. My father had a boxer and I would steal it when he was out of town. Have fun Cwilk.

I was intrigued with the OD green tank.
Of course
It is....has a Corbin seat and PIAA driving lights.
Cheaper to ship it then fly out and hotel stays back home BUT if it was summer I would have done that.
I've been interested in a local RT for awhile but this just happened to fall in my lap. A bud of mine that has daughters on opposite coasts (Cali and Fl.) and rides back and forth visiting them (he's retired also) is in Cali visiting this one and posted it on another site I visit. He's leaving on Thurs. to go visit his other daughter in Fl.

Be careful when riding past any Starbucks, I hear BMWs will spontaneously turn into those parking lots.

I'm going to have to brush up on my assholedness....I hear BMW owners are even worse than I'm used to being.
I've been checking fortunately owning Harley's has taught me to expect ridiculous prices.

Actually beemers are the nicest people on the road, because they know their bike is a fukd up looking motorcycle.?
BMW makes a good motorcycle but not a good looking motorcycle.
They are very dependable as long and they are taken care of.
If this bike has 40k or more miles on it, take care of the drive shaft, that is one of the weaknesses of BMW's and a very expensive fix.

sounds a little childish but ok.
I love the utilitarianism of the design...It has 54K on it....I'll take heed of that...thanks

Airheads last longer cuz the head is always in the airstream. Drain the oil at the driveshaft and inspect it like any other oil. Don't do wheelies in 2nd and you will be fine. I wouldn't worry about a paltry 54,000 on an airhead. Go to a rally and check milages. Yours is just broken in.

I gotta tell ya Captn.....when I first starting reading your comments I didn't think you had a clue....lately you've made some comments that actually sound like you know what you're talking about....well done.
I don't think it's any worse than other bikes with mid pegs but I can always stretch my legs out on that crash bar....I think. :laugh:
