BMWs - for old men?

[YellowDog]

There are a couple of European Tiger forums that I used to frequent. I was amazed at just how many obsessive young Germans members there are. I suspect they just want to 'give the finger' to the BMW establishment.

The message I have been getting is:

1. The BMW image is not young and cool. Old or professional is closer what BMW stands for.

2. BMWs are no longer the 'Bulletproof' high engineering quality bikes they built their name upon.

Personally, all my BMW experiences have been very good and is was the high and upright (ideal for old farts - too stiff to bend) riding position is what lead me to buying a Tiger.

Getting cold out there, best I "winter" my bike and move the rocking chair indoors (or get the young uns to do it for me).

Put thepipe and slippers away and turn on te heated grips sir

my 08 bike of the year.

yep - that was a surprise, and you're still gaining your credibility back

i think bmws are great bikes but theres no way you can compare them to other bikes, they are in a league of their own, nice to ride and packing all the latest tec but they are ugly as sin! im guessing that is why people think they are only for old people because all of us young cunts put looks near the top of the list when buying a bike.

have you looked in a mirror lately, any way I make my beemer look good

Must admit, during my BMW phase I seemed to be outside the demographic for sure.

R65 and a R850 from what i can remember.

So long as I can still have my Single Malt and Shortbread.

Seriously though I could get used to heated grips and that boxer engine certainly keeps my feet warmer than on the CB.

I wouldn't want to belong to any demographic that would be willing to have someone like me as a member !

Changing the bars on the BMW turned it from a bike I didn't like to ride to one I love to ride - simple as that....you don't have to go and buy another bloody bike!!

Hey this is such a great thread I want to keep it going.
Let's categorize some other bike owners, we have already established that BMWs are for old men and hondas are for fags.

This might be useful to help answer the common question, "what bike should I buy?", well "are you a fag?" - honda, "are you an old fag?" - "can you afford 2 bikes?".

So, here goes - just for a laugh.

BMW - old men
Honda - fags (see earlier in the thread)
Harley - drug dealers
KTM - wankers who think their bikes are better than anybody else's (prob are)
Suzuki - under educated poor
Triumph - dedicated hard cunts
Gixxer - wankers who think their bikes are better than anything else
Hysong - sorry this is real bikes only
Aprilla - over paid dicks

That's all I've got sor far. Anyone else?
