#1 Unread post by carlos397 »

Hi all
I am planning to buy a touring bike. But I have many doubts on which brand, Honda, Yamaha or BMW.

I like the Yamaha features and style. About the Honda, I havent read many good things on its suspension and engine, and about the BMW, know almost nothing....

That is why I call your attention for those of you that could clarify me a little bit more before making up my mind.

Regards

Don't ask me, I am biased, but I really like the BMWs. They are very well made bikes, they look hot, and they ride very nicely.

The BMW will probably be the most expensive of the three, but they are a very well-engineered bike. Probably one of the most reliable choices, but then most bikes in this category are. I personally am partial to the Yamahas, so I'd go for the FJR, but you really can't go wrong with a Honda either.

I guess my point is that they are all very good bikes. You should just go with the one you like the best.

That was absolutely no help, was it? :? :laughing:
