Alternate Steed

[Grumpy Goat]

thx for the kind words, my experience with the XR is its a heavy, under-powered bike with poor suspension and scary weak brakes. but if you can over look that suff, its a hoot to ride.

When I first read the above I wondered what the heck you were talking about ... then I remembered you were referring to the Harley XR ... I was thinking the BMW S1000XR - the exact antithesis of the Harley model with the same initials.

That is the bike that brought me to BMW, and one which I came this close to getting, before deciding on the RS.
