I bought a 2016 XR 2 weeks ago... and have been waiting for the snow to melt in front of my bike shed, so I can ride her home. Today, another 18" of the white stuff just dumped on us. :-( it's just not fair. I have been riding since 1977, with a penchant for long rides... This is my first BMW, after having a Honda 750k ('77) and a Suzuki GSX1100G ('91)... I tend to buy and hold... so I will have this girl for a long time I hope!
