I have given Beemers serious consideration; especially the 1200. I looked at the 16 when I was at the bike show, and at a dealer this summer. Surprisingly, I could actually fit the bike.
Not sure if they changed the configuration or is I had sat on one previously that was hiked-up or something. All I could remember is it was too tall. I know I have not grown taller. Given my favored riding style... I need to be on a Beemer or another ST style bike of sorts.

I will have to look at them further eventually.
Right now I would be shot where I stand if I bought another bike...
