I don't know. We could look at used bikes for sale and see which have the highest mileage. I don't know what you're talking about ABS nightmares. You take yours to the dealer on a trailer when it sneezes and it's 3 hours away, and you call yourself a good mechanic. So how is the Indian being simple helps you? You're the one going on about your own bike seeping fluids and going in for warranty work, plus needing remaps, etc, not to mention the weak cast frame. I call bullshit.

Same market, touring bike, not less comfortable in any way, carries the same luggage and passenger in comfort. But you're right, it's not in the same ballpark, it's way better.

I don't care what you call it, it is what it is in the real world. That 1800 is what BMW made with you and your friends in mind. Low, can't lean, slow and massive, so you and your friends can cruise at 120kmh for 5 ours before "sharing rooms"

Your bike´s segment? Expensive overweight touring cruiser? They made this: It's 6 cylinders, 1650cc, 160hp, and 175Nm torque, 115 (front) and 135mm (rear) suspension travel, 336kg wet. Your piece of shit is 1780cc, 122hp, 173Nm torque, 130(front) and 118mm (rear) (WTF??) suspension travel, and 361Kg dry. So heavier, way slower, less smooth and comfortable, and shittier handling. Quarter mile, since it matters to you: 10,9 for the BMW vs 12,7 for your barge. The BMW will be nicer to ride, smoother and faster, sounds nicer, and runs rings around your boat anchor. It's vastly superior on everything!

Congratulations @MooN!

No I’m not, you are

I hope so, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Tomorrow me and Sofia will be flying to London, to spend a day with a couple of friends, and then collect two Triumph Scramblers to ride back to Portugal via France. I’m having serious difficulties ignoring the 32° outside when thinking of what gear to pack!

Well said, Marcel! Administrators are the worst!

It’s very gangster to use g as a unit for money.

Live to Ride, Ride to Live!
