Many people like cruisers. I've tried, but they just don't suit me. This Vulcan is a more capable motorcycle than than either the 2006 HD Street Rod (A horrible Frankenstein design that makes no sense), or the 2010 V Star 950 (an almost ok motorcycle except for the comical lack of ground clearance...parts would scrape while riding in my neighborhood) that I had previously. The Vulcan is a better motorcycle than either of those. It has enough ground clearance to ride an entertaining pace on curves. The motor likes to rev and has plenty of power for riding with a passenger. It's a proven design that's pretty much bulletproof. I take excellent care of my stuff. 5000 miles, no dents, dings, etc. Runs 100%, tires have a lot of life left. Recent oil change. Clean, clear title in hand, 2 keys, manual. Best color combination. Needs nothing. Asking $4,350...can do better for someone I know.

30% chance I could come.

The correct punchline was Wuhan Clan.

So if you contract this, you have less of a chance of dying compared to SARS. But, it's spreading way faster. I've been sorta following this in the news. Hard to tell how big this could get

coronavirus = zombies you heard it here first

The dealership delivered the R1200R today (from Michigan). An advantage of buying in the winter

The N400 walks the line between real motorcycle and a toy

alanis morissette ?

Ewww...gross 🤢 I think my Ninja 400 is everything that people like to pretend a grom is. It's lightweight with excellent manners in a slightly under powered package. ...But...it also has enough power to pass on the highway, and did really well on 1400 mile 3 day trip.

Seems like a nice training tool. But, damn do I have a lot of .22s already

How's the Suzuki handling the trip?

I am not particularly brand loyal, but there are some I avoid. I think the reliability and performance of the actual model means more than the brand itself.

My favorite motorcycles have always been sporty naked bikes with the chops to tour. IMO, this BMW Roadster is the best of breed #nodogshow And twin.

Is @Tonik 's a Right Wing or a Left Wing?

When I burn off these Metzelers, I'm going to put on some Conti Trail Attack 3 (90/10) tires, that are suitable for gravel roads but not dirt.

Your bike has too many cylinders. The R1200R is the only one that checked all my boxes. The R1200RT also got some consideration.

We didn't talk about.

I've wanted an R1200R since BMW ditched the telelever front suspension and the boxer became water cooled in 2015. They have real sport capability and is a legitimate cross country tourer. The passenger accommodations are pretty good too, which is the only real reason I bought stupid cruisers in the first place. This one has everything that I would have picked and more...

No, but in a moment of weakness I almost bought a 2014 Honda Valkyrie because of that 1800cc flat 6. This BMW suits me perfectly.

Participant trophy for everyone 🏆 It's a 2015 BMW R1200R

The only day I would have been able to go was Saturday, but...wait for it... I'll be driving to Detroit to sign the paperwork on another motorcycle I just bought. I told myself I'd never have more than 2 in the garage again, but I caved, so here we are. BTW, the Vulcan is for sale. I keep trying to like cruisers (mostly for the passenger accommodations) but I just don't.
