Time to trade it in soon . . . .

[bmwdave52]

Say it ain't so!
This board without Cycle Rob?

I'm going to have to go down and have a drink with Pat.
Maybe two.

Rob,


I like the bike. I always sit on one whenever I am at the dealer. I'm just being a good boyfriend and doing some preliminary shopping for Amy.

If you take the plunge, Enjoy it.

Rob,

Great choice. The first time I got on an F800ST, I was surprised at how much the seating position felt like my KS. And the lighter weight is not a small thing for someone pushing 60. (That would be me, not you.) And the champaigne color is one of BMW's best, rich and unique.

+1 for the F800 section
(and the second one in a row spoiled for the Ohlins)

[kantuckid]

WOW! Some of you have it really bad! I'll stick with the one thats paid for and just lust after the new ones!!!When my FD goes out , then maybe I'll have a kitchen pass coming my way...

Mine was paid for when the FD bearing went. Still cheaper to fix it! Still love the bike. I am a long ways from changing rides!

Now adding rides - that is a different story!

[MikeCam]

Speaking of which...

Your RS needs a maintenance ride.

sorry, Sir, but your spelling is incorrect. It's DR, not RS.

HUH!?!?

[wncbmw]

Everyone seems concerned that I don't have enough bikes to ride!

[machew01]

Vann, we only want what is best for you.

Herb - I can't see the picture.

[NoRRmad]

The pic is of an F800R. Apparently his photo place doesn't allow hot-linking.

Well, then here we go:




So Rob =- you aren't going to wait for the naked one? The silver ST is a done deal? When should we talk about those Ohlins? No pressure, I just want to stay a step ahead of Jeff on the surplus parts you'll be selling.

[Boxer]

Rob's like me, he doesn't want that chain drive. I don't know why in God's name they chose to depart from the pattern of using the belt on this series! I understand it on the GS...But not this one.

+1. Makes no sense whatsoever.

[Biff's R]

The chain is probably cheaper to manufacture, and it allows you to change the gearing easier than the belt. Changing the gearing would be advantagous if the bike is used as a track bike.

Gypsy,
You are always a step ahead of me.
