Title: Back in the fold
Post by: wildebube on July 18, 2016, 10:16:58 AM

I sold the 1200 Sport a couple of years ago due to electrical gremlins that neither I nor two dealers were ever able to exorcise.  I loved the bike, but I kind of had a bad taste in my mouth and replaced it with Brand X (OK, it was BMW).  Well whoever it was that told me when I bought the Sport that it wouldn't be my last was right on the money.  As of two days ago, the Beemer is gone and I'm back in the fold with a 2016 V7 II Special.  So far, I'm more than happy and I'm looking forward to to joining the chorus of small block fans.

Which Beemer did you sample and what were your observations?

Cool!  Pics?

8 years after selling my first, I bought my second last summer, a 2016 V7II Stone.

Yep, once that bug is in your system, you are infected for life.  Enjoy!

I went with the polar opposite of the 1200 Sport - a 2014 G650GS Sertão.  It was a great bike for what it was, but it just didn't ever push the right buttons for me.  It was one of those things I thought I wanted, but once I had it, I couldn't figure out why I had ever wanted it in the first place.
