[QUOTE="Lowcountry Joe, post: 1233981, member: 14645"] I've "test" ridden a couple of BMWs over the past couple of years. The R1200RT and the K1300GT (out of production). The GT was about like riding the FJR. The R1200RT handled very well, but not north of $20,000 well. Plus, their dealer network is very skinny and some of them do not have the greatest reputation. I was following some BMW forum threads when the 2014 rear-shock debaccle occurred. What a mess, but BMW did offer owners a few options which speaks well of the company. But a blanket "Do not ride" declaration? For a rear shock? It was funny how so many owners treated that the same as they would a bomb threat. Sometimes I've thought hard about a BMW anyway since I do all my own servicing and mechanics, but just can't pull that trigger....especially after owning a new Gen 3 FJR... [/QUOTE]
