I am an 80 YEAR OLD Retired motor cop.. 150.000 miles on police motors. 3 Kawasaki 's & 2 Harley's. Never had the opportunity to ride a BMW. I FINALLY got one... YES ! ... I LOVE IT !!! I WAS A VERY GOOD RIDER, AND LOVED TO COMPETE IN POLICE RODEOS... my balance is now bad. But I'm getting new knees ...
