They do sound great.

But they are so ugly.

Only a man would buy one.

and only a man could push one home every day when it breaks down!!

[joggerjayne]

Gonzo ... are they unreliable ??????

I thought they were meant to be ultra reliable.

mdoo ... the thing is, they are all squared off, and bolted together. I'm sure it make it easy to replace bits if you're doing, say, the Dakar rally (yes, I've seen the Charlie Boorman thing), but they're not pretty.

They have no sexy curves. They look a bit like stealth fighters. They are so ... "blokey"?

I thought you were talking about a car ;o)

but I agree.. it looks like a boy's toy.

[joggerjayne]

Yep

[gonzo00]

lol jayne..they're about as much use as a chocolate teapot!
i've had one that broke down about 8.30am everyday..i'm not joking!! and anyone i've known who has had one has had nothing but trouble with them. they do look a bit starwars too..in a really bad 80's way!
the only two things that austria ever gave us..hitler and ktm....both ugly and unreliable!!

[joggerjayne]

Shows how much I know.

I thought they were Dutch.

(blonde moment, again)

jayne in the past i think you gave the impression that you did not like small ones (pencils) but big ones

Ooh, DrF ... that's yummy.

I just wonder if it's a bit "manly" ?

BMW 1150GS Adventure, thats what you want, oh yes. NOT one of the new plasticky ones either but a 'proper' old school pre '05
