[QUOTE="RockiesRider, post: 485787, member: 14082"] I've just got to weigh in here. I've got a friend who owns an 2005 R1200RT. I have a 2007 AE. We have known each other for almost 30 years and know that our riding skills are evenly matched. I have to say that since he has owned the bike (which he can't afford) there is not a helmet in the world that will fit his head it has swollen sooooo frickin much. After a nine day trip together not too long ago we found that his $20,000+ BMW gets out run by my $11,600 FJR in a drag race. We also found that his over priced motorcycle won't out corner my cheap jap bike either. About the only thing we found that his high dollar bike will do that mine won't in that he can adjust his suspension while riding down that road. WOW all that for $8,400 more. HAHAHAHAH I think he can fit in his helmet again after that trip. Oh yeah the oil sight glass. I actually had to stand on my head (at every stop) to see it. Not sure why I had to check it so much for him. Never owned a BMW, never will own a BMW. Don't see the need to pay the price for two bikes. For that price you can have an FJR and a KLR. just my $.02 [/QUOTE]
