just looking doing the reasearch for now. but thinking about it.
they have great deals over here for getting a bike, if im good %4 interest, 4year term about 400 odd a month. so it kinda got me thinking what would be a good machine thats gonna last and do some serious touring on, but have the ability to hand some corners if it needs too.

then im looking at the R1200GS, and if its for two up light trips the the F800GS has to be aded too, oh grrrrr. but they are something i could consider.

R1200RT and ST, both great engines, durable, long life, but st would have a cheaper service and im thinking parts cost aswell. Both are shaft drive, both have ABS they also come with attatchments extra costs of course and they wont be cheap, BMW has electrical adjustments for suspension. BMW has better storage i hear.
I will take both for a ride when i get a chance, but at this stage they are both even, ST im sure will come out cheaper but is tha BMW worth it.
ill just do the special check for the Insurance which im sure will make and break everything lol.
but any ideas or websites that anyone knows about would be grand.
so what ya think???

What about the Goldwing??? Its got blow up adjustments (like Gordies doll) for suspension.
Storage! well the storage has storage.

I will even deliver it late March.... Flax and Polished stones accepted all in an easy payment plan...

Went for my first ride yesterday in 10 weeks, man it felt good, I missed riding a bike and strangely enough being by the ocean while in Switzerland, good to be back in the USA.

Ya know where I stand on the one TIE. ST1300 all the way. Have test riden both. Candyman and Des Trumpshoe ride theirs hard and give the Sports Bike riders a run for their money. The ST1300 is good for 200,000km plus. The ABS is so good. OK they aren't as light as sports bikes but then tourers in general aren't. They handle a lighter than they look.

Perhaps this will help? Here

I can deliver it to Andrew in late March, but it will take me a bit longer to make a delivery to you Mark, but if you want to upgrade your bike, we can work something out, What sort of figure have you in mind, I can send you my bank account details.
