Well... I have been in turmoil lately as to whether let the LT go on to another home and move to another bike. A lot of my friends have gone to the KLR 650 and two more are currently contemplating buying one, The KLR seems to be suited a little more for what I could do out here in the Southwest.
Added to that, I spoke to the guy I bought the bike from a month or so ago, and he mentioned that he missed the fat pig and was going to sell his new bike to buy another LT.
I called him yesterday to see if he was interested in getting the big girl back. Said he had a couple of guys interested in his new bike, was interested and would get back to me on buying the LT back.
It was very clean and well kept when I bought it, I have only put about 3K miles on it since I bought it, and through what I have learned through this forum, it is in better condition than when I got it.
My wife loves riding on the LT, but agrees that we could get a KLR and a Yamaha TW200 for her, if we set the fat pig free.
It's not a done deal yet, but....it's really looking like the direction to go for me. Keeping her and getting a KLR isn't an option since my wife also wants the TW. Having two dual sports will give us the opportunity to ride together, or just ride two up on the KLR around town.
Ohhh..the joys of grown up decision making...... :(
Anyone else interested in a 2000 LTC with 14,890 miles, garage kept, beautiful condition and NO metal shavings ( http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33843 in the FD oil I changed a month ago ?
