I saw one today atthe petrol station. I liked it, it's small, the seat is low and thus my low bum would fit .

I can't afford one but it's the best of the current crop of BeeM iron by a long shot..... from my short arsed perspective.

It does look like fun but not terribly practical, doesn't seem like it is meant for much more than running around town. For long journeys with a bit of off-pavement thrown in, I would prefer the R1200GS.

And if you happen to be a bit vertically challenged, no problem:

It's a poser bike.

Saw one at the dealer a couple weeks ago (while buying a new oil level sight glass - what a mess that made of my boot).

The "poser" part is debatable, but it's certainly designed more around "style" than anything else. I tend to go with ZM's take, as I think all factory bikes that give you a ready made "custom" are pretty much poser bikes, including all the V-twin factory choppers, but others may differ. Back in the day, I suppose the R90S could have been viewed that way, but when it's a design created around function, I see it differently.

I'm short . That's my first consideration and thus a BMW that fits first off and is essentially stripped down to it's basics is appealing . A GS looks like battlestar galactica to me .
A poser bike ? I'd say that 95% of the super bike category satisfy that qualification, they're all far faster and more powerful than necessary for anything but track days. So I thought the RnineT was pretty good, not a long distance cruise or tourer but as an everyday sport bike it looks pretty good and it's something I could happily swing my leg over.

Being happy is what it is all about.

I bought a factory custom once - the Yamaha XS750SE. A great bike with sucky ergonomics. I should have kept the bike and changed the handlebars (they didn't have feet-forward controls, yet). But I was too anxious to get my first BMW...

WTF does !SIHT ksam sdrawkcaB mean?

EDIT: oh - backwards mask this!...... so WTF does that mean

I saw one in the BMW Stealer today. Center stand not available. NFG.

Oh goody, something to build !
