I am seriously considering buying a motorcyle (touring or dual sport). I’ve been looking around and I think I like the BMWs.
Dual sport:
Touring:
I think I like the R1200 GS more than the others but I wonder whether I should start with something smaller given that I haven’t ridden for some time. Does anyone have any suggestions? Unfortunately the models available in Europe are not the same as the ones available here.
Any input would be appreciated, either as a comment here or directly to me.

I’m a big fan of BMW and for having tried it (my dad is a proud owner) I’d firmly recommand the R1200 GS. Good seating postion, manouvrable (useful in europe, I don’t know about US) and unlike the F640 GS you get the BMW boxster…which is a must!
Suzuki SV 650s. They’re even some wombat resistant. http://kevin.oneill.id.au/2006/03/02/wombat
I’ve had my eye on the F640GS for some time. Very stable, go anywhere bike. Not wanting to offend Savas, but I think the 1200 is a very tall bike, so not so good below 6′ 😉 Just a thought…
