I have a friend that had a Harley softail he and his wife rode. He bought the BMW1200LT for a traveling bike and kept the Harley. He actually had MORE money in the Harley than the BMW. He recently sold his Harley as he rarely rode it since getting the BMW. They love the BMW and use it more than they ever thought they would. He's thrilled that his wife wants to travel more. If you look at all the bikes out there, I don't think anyone makes a touring bike comparable in features, performance, AND price!
