2004 BMW R 1150 R Rockster Motorcycles

I am 53 and finally was able to own the bike I always wanted, I was visiting dealers for about 1yr seating on the bikes and leaving the stores depressed because I was not confident on a bike tip toeing, one night it dawn on me that, when added my bags and gears the bike would sag a bit and it may actually lower it, so that was the key to my problem, with inseam 29/30 I was able to find a stock low seat right away on the craigslist and it kind solved the problem. Took for 6 days tour from Central CA to Portland Or, and it was amazed by the confort and performance, the seat are not perfect but every 2-3hrs a stop made the trip confortable enough. I had a foam pad underneath my behind and it made a world of a difference. I ride it for short rides 2-4hrs and it is a fun bike, because it has plenty of clearance for cornering despite, that I scraped my boot on the pavement a few times, I am not a hard rider but enjoy the twisties. I have owned a hondas 360-750's, hd sportster and I currently own an 05 MV F4-1000 witch is the performance bike but, mile per mile, the bmw R 1150 Rockster I think surpasses the fun factor.
