Well That is a great introduction to BMWs....

DAMIT MAN A BOAT ..A BOAT...

then in a few years you will come tell us all about it. Certainly it will be worse than the M/C fiasco.

Already had a boat fiasco

In my mind there is only bike you can consider at this point.

For the good of the forum and the constituents of ADVrider.

The difference would be that I would expect the Ural to fail, constantly.

Expectations vs reality.

God help me, but I've been looking for a leftover 2012 GS in addition to some other bikes. I did want and still do want a GS, but can't really justify having one out of warranty if I don't have a reliable dealer nearby.

There are some incentives on the 2012s aren't there?

I think only the GSAs. Hard bags
