'No need to sell that one, just park it in your living room and stare at it. That one would put most artwork to shame IMHO. If the sins of my misspent youth would still allow me, I would gladly fold my well-used frame on to one of those. If there is one thing the Italians get right more often than anybody, it's style. 'Bleeding edge tech, not so much but when it's that pretty who really cares....
Boy, ain't that the truth! Make mine a Griso SE in green circa 2008? Just a gorgeous bike...

BMW R1200C....nominated as the ugliest bike ever by BMW haha. A buddy had one and loved it but always made a point of riding more often when I was around just to see me gag and whine every time. Gawd...its an fugly bike! Great deals on new used Tenere's these days!

I think you are wrong there, even BMW admitted that the R1200CLC was the ugliest bike ever, this was from their own technical engineer trainer.

Oh, come on guys. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Some will argue, the R1200c is prettiest of all bmw. ;D

I will argue that the Phoenix version is the prettiest of the chromeheads.



The R1200CLC? Yes, I agree, there's some Fugliness going on there!

I had a 2014 Victory Cross Country for my dedicated long distance touring machine. However with Polaris pulling the plug on Victory I have recently sold the Cross Country. So a long winded way of saying no brother in the garage for my 2015 Tenere. It is going to be an interesting year as friends who ride the dedicated touring machines have asked me to come with them on some very long rides. So for the first time in my life I will be doing a tour on an adventure machine. Should be quite an eye opener. Wish me luck.

I'm sad to say I even considered getting a R1200c at one time. Then my boss bought one and let me ride it once.
MAN am I glad I didn't get one!!!!!! Couldn't wait to get off it!!!

Just the ones listed below. And the KLR will likely be put up for adoption. The bike is OK, but with a Tenere to ride....The FJ was brought home brand new, and will never be put up for adoption. To many good memories/times. The FJR is going to be adopted by my youngest son, but will stay in the stable. Today is 75* and sunny. Time to go find some curvy roads with my kid on his R6. I do wish my tires were wider, my chicken strips are nonexistent. I know why there are no curb feelers on the footpegs.

I also have 2001 Harley Super Glide Sport and a 79 Honda XL250S.
I've Had the Harley for 6 years And Honda for 5.
I bought the Honda for a bit of nostalgia as it's the exact model I learnt to ride on when I was still at school. Pretty rare machine nowadays.

2005 KLR685 that I purchased in 2007.

Riding the KLR today but we will be sharing the road with a Tenere friend.
Seriously considering adding a 2017 FJ-09.

The KLR685 will eventually go to a friend.
