it's getting warmer out. Ok it's almost up to freezing anyway. we decided to hit a couple bike shops, one of which is a BMW dealer. OMG he had the new 1000 sitting on the floor. what a beautiful machine. Had to try a sit on it. felt as light as any 600 I've ridden. absolutely gorgeous body work, I liked the photos but real life was so much better.
Started her up and it sounded incredible.

the tag was hard to swallow at 16K fully loaded with traction control, abs, and slipper clutch.

if i had the extra coin i would certainly be looking that way.

I did the same dealer tour myself last week. Sat on the new Z1000 Kwakker. Feels alot like sitting on a KTM Superduke. I sat on a new Concours, dealer had 2 left over from last year. And of course i sat on all the motards...

I gotta swing by the dealer here too. I like them. The green is wild.
