Welcome Doc! whats a Doxa?:D
Bmw's are okay for mild riding, But since I race AMA and the Wera series, and Deals Gap is in my back yard, my opinion would be that Beemers suck
Get a Ducati or a Vespa:D
Thanks for the welcome Guys. Nice to be here. Not much of a racer myself. Growing up in Ireland we didn't have much. The Northwest 200 was/is a cracking weekend and of course there was always the Isle of Man TT just across the water. Grew up on a GT 250 Suzuki, then a GT 500 Suzuki, then a 750 / 4 F1 Honda until the big Beemer. Lovely thing to drive. Full fairing and Krauser panniers. Bitch to manipulate when stopped, just too bloody heavy. Sold her when I moved to the States. Miss the old girl from time to time. My mother has an old BSA 175 from 1950 something that my dad and I were going to restore but he just ran out of time. Friend had a Ducati. Jiminy Cricket could that thing move. It would do half an hour in fifteen minutes. Poor sod smashed his femor dropping it in the wet. But the fastest thing I ever sat my arse on was the original Kawasaki 900 / 4. Man could it straightline, but went round a corner like a sofa. Kid brother had a Fireblade for a few months but I never got to ride it other than doing about 70 around the wee roads where he lived. My youngest bro still has a bike. Can't remember what. One of the 500cc pocket rockets. All look the same to me now.
