No regrets on my purchase.
I like the BMW. Just not enough to spend the extra dough on it.

The honda is the one I would buy out of all the 1000s

I test rode an S1000RR for about 30 miles and bought one as soon as I got back.....supposed to be in next month. I really like the bike. Handles great and has more power than I'll ever use. 'Course, that goes for my ZX-10, CBR and GIXXER too!

Wow, Hooligan is back. It's been a while.

Yep, been a while. Past couple of years I've been tangled up settling my parent's estate, retired and involved with a bunch of other distractions. Things are now finally settling down...

Welcome back hooligan. I'm expecting a review thread on the BMW (with pics)

If I ever went with a liter bike, it would be this one. It is simply awesome for the price and it feels like a damn 600, not a freakin tank.

Thanks, will do! I'm probably not as sharp at comparing bikes as I used to be (getting old sucks!) but I'll give it my best. And speaking of getting old, what the hell are these things??? Looks vaguely familiar...
