I think it's more status symbol than anything else, I was offered a test drive on a HD FB but thought nah, Ducati Multistrada V4S, Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro or the old faithful BMW R1250 GSA. So went with the R1250GS in the end.

I can honestly say, the old story of if we have to explain, you will never understand. It has nothing to do with best, most useful, most comfortable, best handling or power. It’s about how it makes you feel. No two are the same and it’s a different trip for each rider. Don’t try to understand, but don’t put down those who do. Enjoy whatever is your thing.

Bikes scare the life out of me but saying that I can really appreciate the engineering that goes into them and this is no exception, that bike is truly stunning and if I had to have a bike then thats the style I'd go for but with a smaller engine (that has the same size as my Fiat car lol). Enjoy your Summer Rob and a bonus that Clare will be there too.

Good to see bikes on here as well as cars. I've never owned a Harley but out of their models the Sportsters appeal more than the bigger, more touring 'Glides and Road Kings etc.. The XR1200, flat-tracker-ish was OK too and didn't have too much chrome on it. I don't think the XRs were in the range for very long.

You’ve done really well with that Rob, looks very nice. I’ve had Ducati twins and the Aprilia Tuono Factory with the Accra pipes, after a while the novelty of the exhaust sound does wane a bit, so I hope the Harley noise doesn’t get on your nerves, the up side is you’ve got the original pipes anyway if needed. Enjoy.
