    Honda or BeeM'er

    Just got my bike test at the beginning of the year after driving as a learner for thirty years. I thought I had my heart set on a 650GS. BMW made me feel I was a time waster and told me I had to prove I was a "serious customer" before they would consider restricting a bike for a test drive. The Honda dealer in Ballymena converted a Transalp while I waited and let me have a go, no attitude, no airs or graces. I was converted and convinced. BMW lost a cash sale on a new bike. Honda didn't.

    We only have the one BMW dealer in N.I. Maybe they knew I was a Transalp rider at heart. :P

    Glad to hear you didn't go German. Surely they make the ugliest creations on 2 wheels - I don't care how good they are.

    If only the Japs made boilers, nothing would breakdown.......
