Bmw Boxer Touring Information

[oldryder]

FJR is my favorite bike. However, I use a GL1500 for long distance 2-up (possible blasphemy, I know). been thinking a lot about picking up a boxer twin as a replacement for the Gold Wing.

I want to do a lot of research 1st and am looking for sources.

comments are welcome. thx. in advance for any help.

Rent one for at least a day. Call the local Beemer dealers and check with EagleRider for Minneapolis or just about any other city. If you're looking used, make sure to get one with the same style of new vs old switch gear for the turn signals.

I appreciate the Beemers, rent them somewhat regularly with my travels, and that they do everything with mechanical efficiency quite well, but so far they are just that. Mechanically efficient and not something that I want to own.
