I made him an offer he couldnt refuse

Geeezzz... I would'a given you my soul for it, no brainer.

Welcome to the Beemer Motorcycle World Brando.

My refunded deposit at my apartment goes to Dr. Evil

And yes, he did make an offer I couldn't refuse.

(Glad to still have all my appendages)

Hmmm ... you didn't say anything about 'internal organs' though did you

... you keep offering up your spare kidney, and he IS studying to be a doctor

...another Happy Camper

So I can be expecting a comission check right Doc ??

As much as I like my BMW I still mis my Seca. I really liked the lines on that bike

Ya, that Seca screams, "Sleep with me, I still live at home with my mother!!!"

Seca, whasnt she an old Swedish porn star?

No commission for you

I'm down for motorcycles as daily transportation. But BMWs in general and that K75 in particular (it handles like a torpedo without fins)

I'd rather drive a Geo Metro.

My first bike (to own), '81 Honda Gold Wing 1100 GL (base bike), naked (no fairing, luggage, bags). I painted it, added floorboards & heel/toe shifter. Comfy ride, 40mpg, stock CDI ignition, shaft drive, 1100cc engine. Good riding for me and a passenger or my lunch on the back for commuting to/from work (daily driver right now).

Insurance is about $120/year (single male). Doc makes good points about what a bike can do (parking spots are easier to find ) but I agree that you gotta be a "motorcyclist" to really enjoy them. I'd ride a 250 way before I'd even consider a piddly Geo!

BTW, there are those who customize 'Wings...the one above runs w/a supercharger

I'm not a big race bike guy. I like them, I've just never riden one regularly. I have had Enduros, Harleys (2 Sportsters & 2 FLHs) and BMWs (K75 & R100). Speaking as one who regularly rides BMWs of both the K & R variety; as much as I love my R100... if I had to keep just one bike, the K75 would be the one I'd keep. It's generally thought to be the smoothest bike BMW ever made (look it up in Wikipedia). Last summer I did a 900 mile 3 day trip on my wife's 1990 K75 and it was flawless. All around great bike! Good luck with yours/Dr. Evil's.

Air_Cooled_Nut, I love your Wing and that second one is just sick!

I love my K1200. Nothing like it. I would seriously look at old GPZ's (550) or Honda Sabres/Magna's. check out the year as some of the Honda's where prone to camshaft issues. I had a 440LTD and a KZ650 ( you can make a really cool retro racer out of the KZ) when I was a kid.

I've noticed the European guys go for the FAT look, no matter what the brand ... and personally, I like it.

I'm sorry I ever got rid of my old '82 550 GPz. That was a nice all around scooter, more so than the Honda 600F2 I replaced it with. The GPz was much better suited for carrying a passenger on long distances.

A naked 76 GL1000 (or early 1200) is definitely on my to buy list. That bobber is sick! They are not too expensive to get either.
