I tried to buy one at the end of August. But they couldn’t get me a new one until the end of October. So might as well get one for the spring. They offered me the demo model, but it was fully loaded with tat, and I don’t want to pay for crap like rider modes, quick shifter, keyless ignition, alarm, emergency call etc etc. The sales staff didn’t seem impressed with me slagging off the extras – I mean keyless ignition – I told them I would pay extra not to have it.
BMW were the best for test rides. Got 2hrs, and only a 250 quid excess on the insurance.
The BWM’s are still odd-looking bikes, but that 1250 shift cam boxer engine blew me away. Yeah I still want one.
I’d agree with you that the Japanese stuff is still the most reliable, but I think the Euro stuff is catching up.
