so… Not competitively priced then?… LOL

 

I'd throw a leg over it it had street tires. Can't tell from the pics, did they finally do away with the chain primary?

I took my GS 1150 all over the west… And into the mountains and the dirt… I loved the bike, except it was too tall for me… As I have shortinseamitis

 

I like it. The seat height doesn't look too high for someone with a 30" inseam. You can get a Low Suspension with BMW's Boxer GS but only with the Premium package that really jacks the price. I like the narrow-ness of the bike and the functional crash bars. The handlebar mounts look like they are ready for a set of Bar Backs or risers. Someone will make a good tank bag but the center portion of the tank will rob a lot of space.
I want to ride one.

 

Not so sure I like the idea of the spokes sticking out that far, seems like they could get bent up pretty easy. I do like the looks of the bike, but like others have mentioned... interested to see the price tag they give it.

 

I am looking at a GS 750 as an additional motorcycle… The seat on them is pretty low, so that would fit me well… But I will hold final judgement on the Pan Am until their out and I get to sit on one... I have not completely dismissed the idea just yet… But as I have stated before, the shut down of the dealerships has really pissed me off. The Moco’s made in the boardroom policy, screwed a very good dear friend of mine right out of his business… He was selling close to 100 motorcycles a year, but they said the break point was 100… He said give me 20 more and I’ll sell them to... They said no… In addition to the couple of hundred used ones he sold every year that he bought from the HARLEY auctions… The guy always made money for himself and for Harley Davidson… This is the kind of bullshit that happens when you take a running shoe salesman and have him sell motorcycles.

 

Me too. But I got a low seat and then rebuilt the rear shock with different shims. That put the seat height down about an inch and a half so I could flat foot the bike. Which is much nicer than kind of hanging off one side or being on tiptoe whenever you stop.

 

In the picture below I’m fine… Problem was when I was touring, and I tour heavy ... in stop and go traffic… That’s where it became a grizzly bear



I am stretched out to get that left foot down

 

There are only three BMW dealers in Michigan. If I didn't live near one, I wouldn't own a BMW. It's the same with any brand.
I'd really like to see the MoCo's rationale for shrinking their dealer network.
