I know when I was working for Gekko we could design our own boat and buy it 10% over cost, no dealers involved. If only I would have had the money... |

Well, I now have an "in" at various dealers that I've worked with that would give me a killer deal. My local dealer understands that not only do I work for BMW Motorrad, but with this I can put the Roundel in front of locals that will look to them to buy.

Only BMW I ever rode was Whip's (that's the second time I've brought him up today) GS1200 Adventure (correct me if I'm wrong there). Anyway, that bike felt like a tractor, in a good way. It was so torquey and the gears were all CLUNK CLUNK. It was a very cool scoot.

Nice ride. I've yet to take one out. It's probably best I don't.

The 800 just has a more sportbike like experience. The 1200 is definitely 100x more comfortable for touring though.
