[QUOTE="an-guy, post: 1462507, member: 99303"] I'll still be here, sorry guys, I am still your problem. I test rode a 23 F750GS last weekend, I loved it a lot. Bike was low and light and easy to ride, fun, it fit perfectly. The new gizmos and electronics and doodads also tickled my fancy quite a bit, will be my first actually modern bike. A couple financial mistakes later... tomorrow I pick it up. They did give me a pretty good interest rate and 1k off MSRP. OTD is 13,000 including tax/tags/title/fees all the crap dealers stick on, and usually MSRP is 13,300... I decided not to trade the FJR in. It would have made the payment more palletable, but the FJR is just...a dirty whore of a tool. for lack of a better term. All the fancy electronics doesn't change the fact that the FJR keeps all of the wind off you and can run 200W of heated gear while still being able to hit 160 mph. But the BMW will definitely be more enjoyable on those 90F+ days... Might bother you guys with postings about the BMW, you lot have been pretty cool. I check out the BMW forums and, half of them are completely dead, the other half are just people who look at something new and find all the reasons why their older thing is so much better. And all of them have some cocksnots going around with their 30,000$ BMW R1250GS fully loaded mac daddy Jungle Cock starbucks machine 9000s, saying how anything smaller is for women and new riders. My oh my, the BMW scene can be insufferable... [/QUOTE]
