I’ve owned and ridden both brands, but not neccessarily those models in question. The comparison is night and day. BMW’s and many other bikes are for the enjoyment of riding, Harley’s are a throw back/image based/ retro with so many compromises that anyone who loves to ride wont put up with it. (Vintage Harley’s not…

It’s the Escalade of Bikes IMHO.

Nice job, just watched it. Way to be on your toes, those guys sit there all day so it’s tough to jump into that world. Kudos.

Some of the new owners are racers so I’m sure it will keep the off road racing slant, but you’re right, I think it will turn more into a fancy-ish resort. Oh well, it was never very remote or low end anyway.

Had the B1 as a poster on my wall as a kid. I will always be in awe of it.

Buy it

When they add a wheel to them.

Whyo whyo whyo can’t I sell my BRZ-o. :-(

They already do. I came up behind a new Jeep Rubicon 4 door a few years ago. He wasn’t moving so I walked up. He was somewhat petrified. He’s just flown from Texas to AZ and bought the Jeep at a dealer near my house. Driven straight to Colorado to meet some friends and decided to do Black Bear as his first trail.

I get that the description says that, but it’s not shale in the shady spots. It’s solid rock. A lot of newbies talk it up big. Trust me. I’ve ridden my motorcycle over it, hiked it, biked it and offroaded several trucks over it. There is room for full size tour guided dodges with people piled high on it, it’s not a…

It’s not even slightly dangerous. Unless you drive off the road and that goes for any road along a cliff. That green rollover jeep is one of those WHAT THE HELL was he thinking kind of moments.
There are hundreds if not thousands of more challenging and dangerous trails in southwestern Colorado. If anyone wants to do…

Well, they can be, but the one I bought yesterday isn’t.

but 911’s aren’t! :-D

I think this feeling of detachment from what automakers are currently putting out that is making “us” car people into curmudgeons who continually buy older cars.

Commence plan brown. Commence plan brown.

Prada Sunglasses in my BRZ. I don’t know if they were fake or real, but I get made fun of a lot when I forget my normal sunglasses and wear them, so that’s nice.

Full face, boots, Helmet, Gloves, long sleeves are the minimum on the slow old BMW Toaster tank.

This is why people have no retirement savings. :-)

I love my BRZ. It’s the perfect Yin to the Yang that is my Old, Big, Slow, Awesome Landcruiser.

Choosing good lines and airing down go a LONG way. I’d say go for it, but just have a good plug kit and a strap. (and a phone to phone a friend)
