I was reading a BMW ON mag, and in itBMW said they would like to see more riders converting to them, Now I like BMW but they are out of touch with young riders, I have own 2 BMW's and the last one I did not likeand I am not young, There bikes that young riders would want cost to much but are worth the money, and the one that cost less are not what most young riders want, but are good bike. By the way the BMW I didn't like just did ot fit me good, it was a good bike. So what I looking for here is what would you like to see them build and what do you think they need to do??? I know most owners will always buy another BMW and if they had what I want I would too.

I'd like to see a Oil Head R 1200 motor in a retro /2 styled Earles fork bike. Black W/ white pinstriping of course. Kinda like a triumph Thunderbird resembles a 60's Triumph.

I agree, I also like beemers but I'm in the minority of younger riders. Plus they're prohibitively expensive for someone without a nest egg already saved up.

Now as for the ones I'd want? R1200R, K1300S, F800S, and any of the GS series!

retro is cool, like to see a R90/7 oil head. I would also like to see honda 250 shadow engine put into something like the old dream 305.
