History
Ordered it w/o any test drive, online, while still in Germany, for delivery in TX.
Saw the new model at the Frankfurt bike show back in 2008. Holy moly!
In 28 years of riding, I’d never owned a “performance street“ bike before, only Japanese mid-size adventure thumpers, and my 1150GSA, but this thing just looked too tempting to forget. What an engine!!!
Looking good in the TX sun... just the OEM pipes had to go soon - much better now...
And look at this mod: those ugly ears
just recently had to make space for some fantastic tiny, but super-bright Kellermanns!
