My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.
I have had a long history of riding and racing sport bikes but I traded my Kawasaki 1000 Ninja for a Harley Davidson Street Bob. It's heavy, doesn't handle, is slow and the hardware on it looks like you went down to the Home Depot hardware isle. But it's cool and I smile whenever I ride it.

Very nice!
BMW and Harley Davidson should cross market. There is nothing better than driving a BMW or riding a Harley. Or, having both in your garage. I'm going riding!

I'm trying NOT to buy the new BMW 1200 S.
Been riding bikes since '74, but since '95 and a BMW K1 I have not owned a bike.
