:lol: BMW builds motorcycles, dealers sell motorcycles.

At bike night...

So you can't get a "direct from the manufacturer" discount? Or none of the dealers work a deal for employees?

I know when I was working for Gekko we could design our own boat and buy it 10% over cost, no dealers involved. If only I would have had the money...

Well, I now have an "in" at various dealers that I've worked with that would give me a killer deal. My local dealer understands that not only do I work for BMW Motorrad, but with this I can put the Roundel in front of locals that will look to them to buy.

Soooooo.....you got a good deal then yes?

It was ok enough to snap it up, indeed :)

Damn but this bike turns me into a kid. It's so much ridiculous fun.

Only BMW I ever rode was Whip's (that's the second time I've brought him up today) GS1200 Adventure (correct me if I'm wrong there). Anyway, that bike felt like a tractor, in a good way. It was so torquey and the gears were all CLUNK CLUNK. It was a very cool scoot.

The Adventure is the cracked up version of what Trip owns.

Brick motor - same motor as in the RT. Torque - you aint kidding!! In such an awesome and delicious way.

Aww... I miss Whip. Haven't talked to him in ages.

Nice ride Moi :)

Nice ride. I've yet to take one out. It's probably best I don't.

I prefer the 800, but I bought the 1200 for a reason. I may trade down for my next bike to a 800 now that I know the wife still won't ride very often even with a big comfy bike.

The 800 just has a more sportbike like experience. The 1200 is definitely 100x more comfortable for touring though.
