Just finished a Cycle World review of the new Bemmer. Then saw this.

"Stop Riding the bike."

BMW is renowned for their pro-active advisements to their riders. Some might say, hyper-vigilant. My older brother has this bike in fact. He's such a jerk, I hope he doesn't  heed the warning...

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Me too!

I really do like them. If I was ever in a position to just take off on a tour of the US I think this would be my choice.

I really like the new liquid cooled R1200 RT's. If I were in the market for an expensive new touring bike I would definitely test ride one.
