There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
really waiting to see this bike by BMW

here is my problem, and i am ashamed to admit it. i have become very cheap. for many years i spent money like it was water. after a lot of thinking and getting rid of stuff, i now have only one bill, a mortgage. so i am saving a few bucks each month and enjoying it. i still dream big, but hate putting my hands in my pocket to spend. so i still don't know what i want to do.

I think that is a perfect bike for my riding style. A friend is looking at getting rid of his M109 and concours 14 in order to get one. They are really sweet looking bikes and that straight six is awesome. If I get back into 2 wheels again (who am I kidding, i'm always looking at my next ride), I would like to try one of those.

Cindy,
If John buys one: will you help him light it up properly?
Even if it's not a Spyder: it should still look as if it wouldn't mind being one! :yes:

Nice looking Beemer. It sure does not hurt to keep looking. If you have the means, then go for it. It is a sad person who comes to the end of the trail and has to say "could of had a V-8."
When we run out of plans... :thumbup:

That is a really nice looking bike John. If I was looking, I would really consider it.
In 2015, I really considered getting the GTL. The things that held me off was:
1. All service has to be done by a BMW dealership or your warranty is voided. I believe that this is in the purchase agreement. Not sure if this is true, but was told to me by a guy who had purchased a new BMW. I also modify my bikes a lot, so that may void their warranty as well.
2. I had heard about several major issues that they had. Didn't realize that they had them worked out though.
3. The price was almost twice that of my 1800 Valkyrie that I did buy.
4. It was too top heavy for my liking.
5. It was really too big for what I wanted. I was getting rid of a 1999 Valkyrie Interstate and I wanted a lighter bike.
The new 1600 B would have reasons 2, 3, 4 & 5. If #1 was still true, that would be a deal breaker for me.
In the end I bought the new Valkyrie and I could not be any happier. It has all the power someone needs and it feels like a smaller bike with the low center of gravity provided by that 1800 cc engine.
Do yourself a favor and try out the new Valkyrie. If you need side bags, Corbin makes an awesome set that looks great. I put on a set of bags from a 1999 Valkyrie Interstate.
Those are custom handlebars on my bike.

when i bought my GTL in 2012, i had to wait for the bike. one of my friends bought the GT and another bought a GTL. it was the first year they came out with the new motor it has, and out of 3 of us, my friend mike who bought the other GTL had nothing but trouble. my bike ran great.
