I sold the last bike just (and I *mean* just) before leaving Australia, and it's been a little too long, so we went shopping for options. It was going to be either the Multi or an R1200GS. Well, until my other half found out that a Ducati was an option, and suddenly BMW was left out in the cold. I'm more the type that'll blithely cruise a regular road-bike down dirt/gravel/shingle track than a full-on offroader, anyway. We rented a 2014 S model for a day to get a feel for the model, then test-rode the 2015 one once our dealer got hold of a demo one. Holy cow, they'd fixed every single niggle I had with the 2014. We were back so quickly the dealer thought something had gone horribly wrong! Now I'm just being good, and refusing to call/email Motortoer every day to find out when it's due, because I know the answer will be "they haven't told me yet." I also know he wants my money as badly as I want that bike, so I expect to find out right after he does, without any prompting.
Of course it's red! It's my first Italian sports-anything, so there's only one option where colour's concerned. My partner wants to repaint it matt black, swearing the whole time she's not a revhead, so it's possible that we'll go halfway and put hotrod flames over it. ...like her wedding-dress. Now that could make for a great photo-shoot if we ever do it.
