I have owned 4 BMWs over the years, three airheads and a 1990 K75S, all stone reliable. If there is to be another new bike after my current B, it will in all likelihood be a new R1200RT. The new GL1800, although a beautiful bike, just isn't what I need in a long distance tourer. When I consider the ease of maintenance, larger capacity quick detachable luggage, a hugely better nav system and the duo-lever front suspension it's a no-brainer. Hope Honda is listening.
