What a ride

I have never riden anything like this. This has to be the most comfortable, best handling bike out there barr none for it's size.I only have 5K on the clock now but it's so much fun to ride, reguardless of the weather. There are not alot of options for this bike, it comes pretty well loaded. The old...er Lt's had a bit of low speed handling problem, this normally does not present a problem unless you ride in parking lots,i don't have any issues here, I have been told the rake was changed. The power is pretty good,rolls in nicely without any notice, the shifting is something you will need to get used to if coming from a crusier, this engine likes rpm,i have found anything above 3K will do. The fuel mileage is reasonable, I get anywhere from 48 to 51 mpg @ 72 Mph. The only big issue BMW had was there final drives, they seem to have corrected that on the later models. The maintance on this bike is through the roof. Its nothing for an oil change to cost 100.00 bucks but if your mechanically inclined most if not all the work can be done in house. Read Full Review

Why not show the seat height??

That is about the most important thing I consider when looking for a good road machine, many are too tall for the average American rider. Read Full Review
