Check out My new Bike!

[Papagayo]

BMW 2004 R1200C Montauk


It was a nice surprise. I was more looking at something in 600cc range.

That's my son by the front wheel.
My truck in the background.

That is one clean looking bike. How many miles?

 

[Papagayo]

750 miles..

I put about 20 so far..

 

[tidehigh]

WOW! you have one hell of a wife. that thing is soooo sick.

 

[theknight571]

lol... I'm lucky if I can get my wife to stop and get pop (soda/coke for those of you in other parts of the country )

Nice bike BTW.

I just trained my wife to buy me guitar stuff for Christmas. This might be my next project.

 

[jlazzaro]

a bike with 61bhp, top speed of 105mph, and a whopping 15.9 1/4 mile.

...go big or go home.

My wife won't let me get a donorcycle (aka murdercycle as pronounced by my 4 YO).
If I get a real job I am hoping to convince her we need a nice car with at least 450 hp.

That is the best looking BMW bike I have every seen. Every other one I have seen looks like an enduro type bike.

Dude..shaddup. Not everyone has a desire to blare down the roads at 100+. I have never been above 85 on my bike and certainly have no desire for 100.

That's exactly what I told her, when she showed me a pic..
She bought it the next day..

It has ABS breaks.. The front suspension is designed, so that it doesn't dive, when using the front brake.


Her friend recommended the bike, he bought the Rocket (Triumph 2300cc)..
He told her that this was his second choice.

How did your wife know what to look for in a used bike?

 

[Henrythewound]

Awww I was thinking bike as in bicycle.
I'm building one right now so I guess that's why my brain read your title that way.

 

[michaels]

I have a Triumph America, the Rocket is pretty badass.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Nice! :thumbsup:

 

[Kelvrick]

Very very nice looking bike.

I don't have to tell you to go out and get geared up, do I?

 

[Papagayo]

I got the helmet, jacket, and gloves the same day, they delivered.

I think this model was also the one in James Bond Film. The one with Michelle Yao (I think that's her name)..

Heh...I got a '59 Les Paul Reissue with aged finish for father's day last year. She bought me a wireless setup for Christmas...can't wait till this year

Although, I've always wanted a clean '75 Triumph roadster....

This bike has lots of torque..

Wish me luck, I'm taking it on the main road tomorrow..
I've been riding only on my subdivision so far...

You're wife bought you a bike? My mom starts to panic whenever my dad even talks about getting a bike!

Maybe she's found someone else and thought this would be a good way to get you to commit suicide.
