2005 BMW R1100S User Ratings

Whoever said that BMW motorcycles are not great at any one thing, but rather, they do all things very well, clearly had this rocket-toboggan in mind. For example: after a wonderfully spirited day at the track mixing it up with ducks, gixers and busas, it'll escort you gently and precisely homeward without missing a beat. (they, being sore of butt and numb of mind, will sedately - and boringly - drag their steeds home on a trailer) For better example: how about a six day ride cross country from Boston, MA to Livermore, CA? Sure. Then, next day, heading out of Livermore for three days of riding fun with your pals who are going to play on the twisties of Northern California as they go up and around Mt Shasta? Easy. And on the seventh day, hopping back into the R11s' saddle and heading back to Boston for chowd'r? Well sure, why wouldn't you? You know it's a great ride - you just rode it a few days ago. What's to stop you, really?... Unless it's the dreaded thought of settling your butt once again into the jaws of your duck, gixer and busa... Rocket sled? Absolutely not. Have you seen the photo of the guys they strap into rocket sleds, cheeks flapping the wind?... Rocket Toboggan? Surely! 'Cause going fast with creature comforts ain't that bad. p.s. to my pals: don't forget Monkey-Butt powder next time...
