I used to ride some BMWs also: R1150R, K1200R, R1200RT. After the RT and Concours 14, I love being closer to the ground, easier getting on/off and way less tippy feeling. If you are in the states, you may miss the ABS and cruise. I am fine without it. This bike is many different things to different people. For me its a fat comfy sportbike, for others its a long distance cruiser with a little less luggage than a normal 'wing. The flat seat that allows shifting around is one of my favorite parts. If I ever get the time to make really long rides, I will invest in highway pegs, and there are many to choose from. Also, with this Honda, you may never have to take it back for service, these are very low maintenance bikes.

What are your concerns?
