Let's see about these comments:
[email protected] (captainwhoopass, yeah right) gives BMW a BFD, hmmm how are those Yomama dales doing this year, not so good, hmmmmmmmmmm
Intruderdude - doesn't like BMW styling, buts like the Intruder, no accounting for taste, hmmmmm, Suzuki's sales basically suck this year too, hmmmmmmm, having to work with Kawasaki to save money. Must be style envy...
Heinz Cheeseburger (aka nickdabrick), uh, no comment needed on that one...
If Suzuki and Yamaha had to stand alone on their cruiser line, these two puppies would have gone the same way as Excelsior-Henderson did...
Me, on the other hand, actually own and RIDE BMW's (K1200LT currently, have had 6 of them) and Harley Davidson's (the true king of style, if not why is it copied so much by every one BUT BMW, my Harley has 170,000 miles [yes, same engine, tranny, even same clutch cable] on it so screw your Hardly-Ableson crap). So I think that I might just know enough to say that BMW has finally hit the nail on the head with how to new attract customers. IT is just a few points, but they are reliablity and STYLE. And style does not have to be 'pretty', to you but to the larger group of RIDERS who appreciate well designed, functional, stylish products.
Coming off soap box now, feel much better. Will restart my medication later...
