I got back from the big city and checked out a bunch of dual sport bikes. The KLR 650 was a little bit tall for me, the Suzuki 650 was better and I could lower it so it would fit me great. Then there is the BMW. Sweet looking bike, fits me almost perfectly and, well, it's a BMW. Does anybody have one or has ridden one?
I don't want to convert a dirt bike into a dual sport since I already have a KDX. I want to flexability to be able to cruise at 75 mph with the street bike guys but still be able to plonk down the occasional dirt road. The BMW is fuel injected and that makes me nervous. Any opinions would be welcomed.
I was just planning on looking at bikes so I could save and buy one next summer but BMW offers a .9% interest rate which is making the bike so tempting to buy this summer. It's kind of one of those, do I lose a summer and pay cash next year, plus be able to dicker to a better price. Or do I finance it and get to ride this summer. The other dual sports don't offer an option like this. Anyway, I'm sitting on the fence wondering what to do.
