I really want to try out some beemers in the near future, how do you like it?
are they as boring as their german engineers?

They aren't boring per say. They do everything well but lack character.

Thanks for the comments, Gents.
It is a big, heavy brute but it looks cool, sounds cool and is fun to ride.

I have seen one that looks identical at KWHonda on display. I think it had the oem exhaust too.
 
what a beautiful specimen, would love to hear it running

nice backyard too
I can see after a nice ride
sitting out there with a gin and tonic
and admiring that bike as it cools down
 
It is my second BMW after selling my FZ1, so far from being boring.

Take one for a test ride

If a Boxer twin does not have a character, please let us know what does.

I was referring really to the inline 4s as they are the only one's i've ridden.

Didn't they do a turbo version of this bike? Quite a collectors item I would say.

Not a turbo, but they did a blue and silver touring version with matching sidecases that was really nice.

Took one out when Yamaha had their demo day. It was such a great bike, and much more practical for the street. Super comfortable, upright, softer suspension and enough power for fun. It's a good recipe!
I also took out the MT10 to try, but I am ruling that bike out.

I ride a Tracer 900 GT so definitely concur that your choice of the MT09 is a good one. The triple engine is amazing!

Wow, great response thank you for all the detail.

Although I really like my vfr and the full fairing look I'm getting tired of trying to keep it clean, lol. I've been considering a naked for my next bike and love the look (and that glorious exhaust) of the mt10.

Makes sense about too much power for the seating position, I don't intend on getting up to 250 on any bike on the road let alone a naked but I have heard its a handful to control.

Just made my short list shorter, thanks for the info

Edit sorry, responded to the wrong post, was meant for @Sebi

Nakeds are harder to keep clean imo.
I had a 2003 VFR like yours as well as a bunch of other fully faired bikes and they are easy to keep clean. Getting the dirt and grime out of all the nooks and crannies of an exposed motor etc. is a real pain.
I’m riding a Tracer GT now and can attest from experience.

YMMV.
