Ramrod XTreme
I'm pondering the idea of getting a "real" bike. I mean this in the sense that I've been riding Honda scooters for the last 2 years. One (that I sold) was a 1984 Aero 50 2-stroke, the other is a 1983 C70 with a 110 Lifan engine I swapped into it. I really like the looks of the BMW R65, especially in flat forest green and am thinking of getting one in the indefinite future. I've heard about the vibration and other issues but also that it's super comfortable to ride. The area I live in is extremely hilly with lots of winding roads.
I know it's a 650, but it is an older bike and I've been dinking around on scooters for a while so maybe I can handle that power.

Anyway, if you guys have suggestions for why I shouldn't go for this, or what I should be considering instead, I'd love to hear it.
