Well, the other day I decided to trade my busa for something newer and more comfortable while I wait for Suzuki to do its thing so that I have a fairly valuable trade when the time comes. I had decided on the M109R and went to a dealership that sells jap bikes and BMWs. I had seen the 1200r in a magazine and went into the BMW side to inquire about it. They did not have any in stock but they had the 1200s. I asked about it and even got on it. The comfort level is great when compared to my busa. I even went outside to my busa to really compare. The salesman asked me if I wanted to take it for a test ride, Of course I did not say no, so off I went and was hooked. There is something weird about the way it turns, it is just not natural for a bike. The brakes are just awesome and the ABS is not as bad as I had tought. When I got back to the dealership, the salesguy saw my face and he knew I was hooked. However, I still asked to see the M109r, I sat on it and there is something still weird on that bike regarding the location of the foot pegs and how the rear brake ends on them. It is pretty much 2/3 the width of the foot peg so the right foot ends up in an awkward position.
Then I started thinking, should I leave the sportsbike world behind and go into the cruiser bike realm? or Should I justs continue to have fast fun (although not as exhilarating as with the busa) while I wait for Suzuki's new beast?
Well, I traded my busa for the k12s. Sorry to see Leticia leave but, such is life
I will keep lurching around here (if allowed) and keep up with any new information. This group is great and has tons of information and help, I wish there was a similar group for the BMW but the one that exists is wayyyy toooo worldish
Anyways, take care and be good, I will be around and thank you very much for all the help during this time.
I have a couple of things that I will be putting up for sale here to watch for them.
