sold bmw -- bought a15
Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2000 1:18 pm
After reading this list for a better part of the a year and enduring the
frustration of Blowing My Wallet (BMW), I just went out and bought a new
2001 KLR.
I am moving from a BMW K1200RS to a KLR. I'm I crazy, or have other listers
made similar moves from big, complex, and expensive machines to the
relatively simple KLR? It is difficult to rationalize -- perhaps it is just
the "return to the basics" syndrome.
Regardless, the A15 looks very nice. The silver tank adds contrast to the
olive plastic (being a former Marine, the A14 color scheme is a bit heavy).
It is a $100 ($4,999 -- Bay Area price) more than the A14.
Thanks to "thesquasher" for setting me up with a great "no bullshit"
Kawasaki dealer. Thanks to Arne, Gino, and the gang for making this list a
considerable resource.
Funny, my new Aerostitch catalog just arrived...
