Well I’m on my first, a 2016 R1200R....I love this bike! But I also can’t imagine not owning my 2014 Deluxe or my 2006 Ducati S2R1000 Monster.....the only bike I regret selling, my 1979 CBX...

had same problem with the charging system on my 94 R100R. Bike needed to be ridden often and far, or it would eat through batteries. also glad that carbs are in my past..

Yep! Carbs, points and condensers, tubes, petcocks, clutch cables, bias-ply tires, drum brakes... Very glad modern bikes have moved away from most of that stuff!

My brand new BMW K100 ridden 3-5 miles to work each day would not keep the battery up by the end of the week!
This was suppose to be BMWs "New High Tech " bike!?
I had a lot of bike before this but had waited years to buy my first BMW.

I hate carbs. Bad enough to maintain on my single cyl dirtbikes-
I bought a ZRX1200 in 2012, rode it home from the seller on the highway, no problem. Took it out for the next ride and a few miles in- it spit, sputtered and died. Sucked some cuss up in a carb. Managed to get it started and home but I parked it and haven't touched it since. No joke.
Bought the CB1100 almost 2 years ago now. Not a problem. The ZRX is pretty to look at though.

Statistics, a very useful way to justify lies. I think it's a good tool if one can interpret the facts with intelligence. If you like statistics, here some for fun...
