I think I'd look especially camp on a harley.
They are certainly not for everyone and don't appeal to me in the least, which is just as well at a over 500,000 a ride.

The BMW is not the best motorbike made today.

It is a fucking BMW, its pretty good but by no means the best.

Stupid fucking indicator things on it that need both hands rather than one.

I met a German a couple of weeks ago Quirrel, had this big BMW that he'd just bought for 990,000 baht.
Nice colours too, sort of old fashioned cream and brown.
He told me it was the best that money could buy.
I told him I thought it was an outrageous waste of money.
He told me he had huge amouts of money to waste.

Fair enough, arrogant cnut.

If you like the BMW GS series take a look at these:

Buell > http://www.buell.com/en_ca/bikes_gear/ulysses/
KTM > http://www.990adventure.com/
Suzuki> http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/VStrom.html

I like the Buell but would be concerned about reliability until this model gets some more years of production. The KTM and the Suzuki would also be good choices and though the V-Strom is supposed to have a few minor reliability problems non of them are fatal flaws.

On the other hand not too many of these are real cheap bikes. Get a second hand on/off road bike and put some reasonable semi-knobby street tires on it. You will have a bike that is easier to handle around town that will do everything as well or better than the GS with the exception of long distance rides and highway manners.

Those GS BMW's are outrageously expensive. For riding around Patong my little 8000 Baht 100cc honda dream is hard to beat. I'd feel stupid riding a motorcycle which costs more than a house and land up north.

Why would you feel stupid if you can afford it why not. Stupid would be buying a bike that you cant really afford

Why buy a bike that is NOT road worthy past your little town? I will not ride anything less than a 600cc any real distance. Hell, if I could afford it I would ride a BMW for long distance but I can't so I choose a bike that is still safe and comfortable to ride.

I own a Honda Wave 125i here in Thailand. Does it count ?
Enough for a ride in Lotus Chiangmai or in the city, I dont like so much riding in Thailand.

I had many bikes before in Switzerland : Yamaha 125 DTMX, Yam 125 DTLC, Honda VFR 500F2, Montesa 125 (for fun in the woods), Honda VFR 750 (2 different models) Kawazaki 1100 ZZR, and finally Honda CBR 900 RR. Had a lot of wonderful rides in the Alps and on the european roads.

I guess lately I've been thinking in terms of not spending money unless it's going to make money. At least a big chunk like what would buy a GS1200.
I love the little hondas! The seats suck though and I can't imagine spending more than an hour riding at a time.
Does Mike Corbin make a honda wave seat?

This is the bike that i use while upcountry. Speed is not an option. Braking depends on your foot power...

My Tiger now has a Hyper Pro CDI, a Custom stainless exhaust with black back box, kevlar front mudguard.

Planning on dropping in some Cams and possible changing the cylinder from 110cc to 125cc

Any specific info to back this up or is it just an opinion? I am not a huge fan of Harley's but I have always liked Buell for doing the unexpected. I haven't heard anything overly positive or negative about the Ulysses since they are a new model and not very common.
