XTreme Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 ......cos after all, I've had it 16 months now! That's an eternity for me! But you know what the problem is? There's nothing out there that appeals to me! They're either too big, too small, too heavy, too ugly, too focussed on just one aspect, or just too expensive! WTF? Am I stuck with this Beemer forever? Anybody else finding your choices are very limited these days? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that seems to be selling here now is Trail/Adv bikes.....no demand for anything else besides little scooters as commuters. If you've got a standard bike here now it's not worth much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
