God wants me to have the GS and the RR...And the DRZ and the Buell. And this lamp...and this ashtray...

I get nervous when I hear about Germans wanting to take over the world.:tremble:

German technology has always been top notch. The Nazi's screwed things up, but their culture has its charm.

Isnt it neat that each race builds machines to match their own traits and personalities...

"German" would be a Nationality, not a race :wink:

The Nazi's weren't the first time the Germans went a little power crazy.

German aftermarket vs. OEM is interesting, though. The process that Germans go through to put anything on their vehicles is different. In that, they need to register the vehicle with the aftermarket products [exaust, suspension, etc.] So, typically their manufacturers have produced what they feel to be the "finished" product. It is also why there are entire companies in Germany that will produce an aftermarket vehicle with their name.

Yeah I dont know why i typed race, I was actually thinking culture.

Italian bikes are so passionate and stylish. German bikes are built with so much emphasis on design, Japanese machines are so focused and functional. British machines exude a certain flair for protocol.

and american bikes are ugly fat and loud :lmao:

True dat!

Just like our...nevermind...

Yep, I'm going to test ride one here as soon as the weather and my schedule click! I want it to be decent so that I can get a really good romp in. Once or twice around the "block" isn't going to cut it for a bike that costs $17,000!!!

you won't be disappointed, too bad you aren't closer. The unescorted test ride was nice. Plus their recommended loop is actually pretty good. They are taking it up to the gap tomorrow.
