Most of the BMW cruisers are bigger...



Huh?! Sorry Ron, but I have no idea what you meant by this. BMW hasn't made a "Cruiser" for ten years, and since they ceased production of their R1200C in 2004...saddlebags or not.



R1200R is a cruiser

You absolutely were the among the first to push for the liter or bigger HP heavy cruiser. They missed the boat on that one IMHO> They should have listened to Dwight.

Affectionately because I love Triumph America, when I get off my Kingpin and get on the 790 it feels like a moped.

Now that I am old and spoiled, I don't think I would take another 1000+ mile trip to anywhere under 700 pounds and 80+ HP. They just simply feel so well planted at highway speeds.

Have been under 800cc to Sturgis, Biketoberfest, Myrtle Beach, Atlanta, New Jersey coast, Triumph fest in AZ twice, etc. No more, bigger better rides are available and affordable for that.

The only reason I said the above is thinking many more husband wife teams are probably thinking the same thing.

The liquidation here could be financial or trade ups. Who knows. I do notice they are pre EFI that may say something. I also notice that we have very few newer bikes on the forum as participants. Is that a market meter?
