Hey Chromehead !
We don't have to justify anything, only enjoy OUR ride of choice, much like most everyone here already does.
Mine does everything I want it to: carving up the twisties, fast on the sweepers and haulin' down the highway (when needed). Daily commuting, weekend trips and week long adventures, it's all good. My preference is for the backroads, and that is where my bike excels, 43 K and going strong!
It is a cruiser, not a sportbike, and should be evaluated as such. In my opinion, it does everything that BMWs have done historically. Mechanically sound, reliable, leading technology and "unusual" styling. A lot of character and truly a work of art.
Is it for everybody? Not hardly. But then again, neither is a GS. Or RT. Or LT. Or F. Or H-D, Duc, Triumph, or Honamakasuzki. But I like to look at them all and ride a different one sometimes. (Looking forward to the Big GIG tomorrow!)
Will I ever get rid of my C? Probably not, but one should never say never, because you never know what's coming next. I am limited only by the space in my garage and my wife's acceptance of my (now 2) bikes.
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year with many enjoyable miles ahead!
