Save a little cash !

Change the 15 t to a 14t gear.. Get some some cans & a chip.. Ride it for 6k then go for the 750 upgrade..

I would go with the multi.. I had a friend who had the 650gs beemer & didn;t like it at all on the HW.. Its a single ? right.. sHe couldn"t believe the differnce when she rode my 620.. Mo pow pow..

I have had the dark mts for 12 k now & am very happy & had no problems at all..

I was talking about the differance between the dark & a painted multi with a painted owner. The only difference is the brakes.. Infact the dark should break aswell as the colored , because of the 4 calliper factor. If ...

I get about 50+ mpg , just ripping around.avg mph is 40 60. The light goes on a around 140 or 150..

I always watch how much she takes when I fill her up.. I almost always have .9 left in the tank @ 150 miles.. I have gone as far as 180 before filling & still have had about 1/2 gallon left..

Oh My, thats is a lay-up.. The beemer is an OK bike, I have ridden one & my friend has ridden my MTS 620 (not 1000) We both were like hmmm 650 ? really..

Two words Night & day... My 620 I felt was an upgrade.. So the 1000 would be like living in another world..

Comfort wise I think like any bike ...

I have ridden 2 up a bunch on the multi 620 couple hr trips.. I think if you are planning on ridding 2 up allot I would go with the bigger bike. It has the power, but I think it is a better solo touring bike.. Due to the engine size.

I would buy that used one that was posted.. that pric for a new one appears high to me..

You can also get just the rear cans in either.. The remus is the cheapest I have seem.. I am going to get the carbon cans in the spring.. They beat the termi stuff..

MU

You can get Remus & Arrow cans for the 620.. I think you can also get a full arrow kit..headers etc.. here is a link to someone who carries them..

Wow Great question.. Mind boggling.. Well no not really.. I am a 620 owner.. I love my ride, it has about 8 grand on it to prove it.. I ride the bee hey-Zeus out of it.. I can stick with the big boys on the sport bikes, whipping though twisties and such.. Sticking & moving.. Like you quoted its a ...

The vibration gets better..You need to run the rpms around 4 or 5 K in a given gear.. SHifting during the break in. the clutch/gears are very cluncky (rattle ?) you also need to focus on positive shifting.. or you may get a false netral in 5 or 6..

The 600 mile service, I think from reading around ...

Yeah I would say shop around.. I saw a new one on e-bay for 9500- New S i think.. The resale for the 1000 is getting soft.. 13K miles to me is a lot for the price but thats me..

I just saw 2 new ones on e-bay for under 10 grand buy it know..no miles.. go figure..

The Buell.. Oh my.. My friend who works for a buell dealer.. Just did a 1700 mile test ride on it.. Holy freak on a leash.. He sang the praise of this bike..Like a Baptist Minister in sunday morning mass in the south..

It does sound killer I will be test riding one this week for chits & giggles ...
