I Stopped at the BMW Dealer Yesterday

And I saw this.



And I sat on it.

And it was good.

The swinging arm looks broken

Looks nice, but just how big a dent would it make in your wallet?

[wisart]

I think it's around $12k US dollars, which isn't too much out of line with similar bikes. Well, there are no similar bikes as new models anymore but it's not outrageous, just real expensive.

[VOZZA]

£8049 here I think which isn't bad, but you can get a Triumph Sprint GT for £8500 which is a bit of a bargain.

[wisart]

Mmmmm... I love the Sprint, but prefer the ST model.

I had a BMW F800ST a few years ago (2007) if memory serves me correctly........
It was a nice bike but I found it a bit Bland and a bit Revvy, no torque worth mentioning which was surprising for a Twin.
Only did less than 500 Miles before I traded it in for my second Suzuki AN400
Swapped that for a Suzuki Burgman 650, traded that in for a Suzuki DL1000, traded that in for a ....... etc etc

Wait 'til you get the price of servicing when the drive belt needs changing !!!!

[wisart]

Yeah, the servicing costs would be my biggest concern. I will probably never buy the bike because of that one issue. Sure do like it though, wish there was a Japanese equivalent.

I've heard about the bland motor from a few riders Norm, I hope they injected a bit of torque in the GT version.

You lucky bikers in the US are getting the new honda nc 700 cruiser, is it the ctx or gtx, ?????, anyway that looks a real beauty, wait until the honda 700 arrives before you buy another new bike wisart..
