Griso Guy, not my quote but from the late Larry Grodsky of Rider Magazine fame and I almost got it right lol
"What Italians call character, Japanese consider design flaws and Germans deny to their graves".. Larry Grodsky ...
After renting one in Europe I almost came home and bought an R1200R, but weird gearing and BMW's suffering reputation with the rear drive flange stopped me. That was the 3rd out of 4 times I've "almost" bought a BMW. Still love to have a late 70's R100. Beautiful motorcycle. Wouldn't ride it, but would love to walk out to it and look at it.
