Originally posted by tkent02 View PostThis part is true. I went into a Suzuki dealership to buy a slightly used weestrom. No test rides, and he actually laughed at me for wanting one. He actually implied that I couldn't get the loan anyway, not sure why. Off to the BMW dealer, test rode a two year old F800GS, paid cash and bought it that day, wheelied past the Suzuki shop on the way home. Enjoyed that so much I went around the block and did it again. After riding both bikes quite a bit, the F8GS is far superior to the Wee, faster, lighter, far better off road, but I would have never known this if the Suzuki place would have treated me right.
I love the 800 Triumph, but I know the BMW is better.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things

Or else you could just stick to the shallow end.

Certainly don't want anything heavier.
If I were to do it again I'd get the KTM.

although the last new bike I bought was 30 years ago in Ontario, in March and it started to snow on the way home from the dealer. Gotta say that's not likely to happen to me again.No signature :(
