It's been three full riding seasons, 26000 trouble free miles, and I still haven't fallen out of love with my Roadster.

IMHO I haven't ridden a bike that so successfully combined the torque of a cruiser with the great handling and cornering of a sportbike.

No desire to trade on a K-bike however the new Bandit tugged on my heartstrings a little. Got this bike almost paid off so I think I'll keep her til she drops.

Shameless satisfied Beemer owner out.

I couldn't agree more. My R1150R is the only bike I use. My beloved 1978 Moto Guzzi LeMans hasn't been out this year. Maybe it is time to sell the LM, it is a shame to let her just sit while riding the h-ll out of the RR. But the RR is the best all round bike I have ever owned, Duc's, MG's Triumphs even the awsome 3 1/5 Morini. I guess in another twenty years I might want something else, but by then I'll be almost 80.

My 04 RS is really more machine than I need (or probably should have) But... I'm proud to give 'er a go. :rocker

Hi!!!

Gotta agree. LOVE my Rockster. 30,400 magnificent, trouble free miles. Lots of smiles and smiles. That 1150 engine is just so sweet and powerful.

The 1200s are intriguing. Like the lighter weight, but hate the UNstylishness and obvious shortcuts taken to save some money. (Have a look at the fluid reservoirs on the bars - ICK)
