The riding season here in Wisconsin doesn't have many days left this year. The R1150R will be going into storage soon. Maybe it's my viral infection talking (I've been laid up sick for the past 2 days - thanks to laryngitis, my voice is gone), or maybe it's my thumper riding background rearing its ugly head - I don't know, but I've been wondering if it might be good for me to downsize from my R1150R, to say an F650, G650, or even an F800. You see, I'm not the typical "I ride "a few hundred miles a day on the weekends" BMW rider. For me, it's a quick one or two hour jaunt (tops) on local back roads. So, I don't necessarily need all of the extra dispacement for droning along for several hundred miles. I'm just a back roads burner. Also the maintenance would be a bit cheaper, and easier to do. The bike sould be nimbler handling too. My R1150R is a great bike - like I said, I'm just thinking out loud.
Anybody else ever have similar thoughts?
