I think you should ride both. Then decide. Almost every BMW store has demo bikes. Personally I don't like parallel twins. They torque the bike when you hit the throttle.
I can help you with the brakes. Let me know your schedule. I work 3rd shift Sunday night through Thursday night. And the dealership usually Friday and Saturday during the day.
I will not be able to make this one. I have a golf outing on the 24th. It all but impossable to get 2 Saturdays off in one month. Let alone 2 in a row. Have some fun for me.
That's me. I looked at the can on your old bike yesterday as I was preping for it's new owner. The can is the same as mine. And thanks for the props on the bikes. I just sold the Kawi 3 weeks ago.
I like the way they look. They have changed over the last few years. I should be at the shop all day Friday. And I will most likely have the bike there. Check it out if you want to have a better look.
