if you are looking for a motorcycle as an investment, you are looking at the wrong one.
My 2009 K1300GT is in the shop now at 16,778 miles getting it's first final drive replacement. Thankfully it's still under warranty.
My 2005 1150RT got it's first final drive replaced at 28,000 unfortunately it was outside of the 36 month warranty and did I mention I was in Nova ****** Scotia?
I bought my first Connie 14 two days after I dropped the GT off for repair. Lesson learned.
Lets watch the language, guys.....VJ
Pretty much NO new motor vehicle is ever an "investment". It is just an expense. Perhaps if you get into some rare antique stuff, one might expect appreciation. But I stress the word "rare".
Oh I would think there are a few of us kicking our back sides for not buying some of the old gas hogs of our youth. Corba Jets, Hemi Cuda's etc.
I am buying a C14 or BMW R1200RT tomorrow. I can't decide which to get as both motorcycles seem to be great, yet different from each other.
So you're buying one of them tomorrow but still undecided?? Maybe some test rides and research is in order Kurt...
Well, today was the day I was going to buy a motorcycle...
I took both the R1200RT and the C14 out on test rides along the same stretch of roads. In my opinion, the bikes are totally different; the C14 clearly sporty, while the RT more tour oriented. There was a surprising amount of wind noise on the C14 along with upper body heat (that surprised me, had not read about that in 2011). But the power and smoothness the bike has is contagious and makes you have to have the bike!
I rode the RT and fell in love. It is quiet, comfortable, has plenty of power, and handles well.
Truly I could not decide which to buy. So I bought both!!

Doesnt make any sense to me.
WHATEVER!
I call B@11$H177!!
I am pretty skeptical too, myself. There are some appreciable differences between the two bikes, but they are way too similar in most ways to possibly justify buying both of them. Just doesn't make any sense at all.
Hey Kurt I call BS and would like to see a pic.
Just saying!
Pics, Pics, Pics. We need to see some pics. Without pics nothing is real...
Some would claim it is a hoax, since no pictures have ever been posted.....
(I wanna see him next to BOTH!)
