Congrats! Put some pics up?
And maybe give your opinion on how they all compare?
Will do... the Rallye is the most sporty orientated of the 1200 range, with loads of tech and quality components... very high suspension on the high setting (which I need). It has the same specs as the adventure in terms of tech, I haven't even explored all the options yet (haven't got it yet).
With knobblies you can go anywhere, and with road tires u can tear up the city! It does have a small screen, but it quite effective... you can put the bigger ones on if you like. Lots to learn on the bike.
The AT dct is quite weird to ride, but does it's thing quite well. Feels like a scooter with some balls. The engine is down on power, but it really has some fire in it, and it gives you its best... the bike is very short however, so if you talk then that's an issue. It's a Honda, so build quality is very good, the BMW is exceptional though, but u pay for the privilege of having the BMW.
I am biased towards to BMW's, I have had a few, and had relationships with all the bikes... I had 2 Harlies in between all the BM's, but always missed the BM's and were back on them within a few months. I think Honda's are tops from the japs in quality, but the BM is just more solid, and heavier as a result. If it was off road only, it would have been the AT, but for all purposes, including city, the BMW wins hands down.
Cheers
