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

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...

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.
