I don't think I'm a Beemer guy. They give me a bad impression. Too fancy-schmancy. Not simple or humble.
Does one need power brakes on a motorcycle? Some Beemers have them. Not simply big powerful brakes like many Sport bikes do, but
power brakes? I read that the ABS on these things disengages at low speeds, meaning the
power brake monster is unleashed upon the poor rider who then accidentally locks the brakes and hits the ground.
Again, do we need power brakes on a motorcycle? I can understand that it is not easy using the Savage brakes. They take some squeeze power. But still, does anyone need POWER BRAKES?!?!?
... on a motorcycle!?!?
Not only that, I've gathered bad impressions of their reliability (the newer one's at least-- I heard a good opinion about the old ones.)
Not sayin' I wouldn't ride one or be willing to hear about them in some respects.
They just leave a bad taste in my mouth, metaphorically speaking.
It's interesting and frustrating that this girl chose a Beemer, but it seems that she's a Beemer person. She's some fancy person who wants some fancy bike and can't handle the pure
Savagery of the Savage. It seems that Beemer people and Suzuki people are near opposites. They don't see eye to eye.
...Or, to think of it, she's a beginner that doesn't have a clue what she's doing, doesn't know or care about reliability or
repair-ability. She probably has money and doesn't care about spending it. She probably went to the stealership, looked at the bike (and maybe others), test drove, and decided that she simply liked the feel of the Beemer, having no clue as to the monstrosity which lay before her.
Now what would be more extreme would be Royal Enfield vs BMW.
Now, there are probably some Beemer/Savage owners here who don't like my slightly frustrated rant... Go ahead, have at it! Call me everything but a rotten egg!
