Why am I not surprised that you like the 2 wheel version of the X3?

I fail to see how this is the 2 wheeled version of the X3.

A; price
B: the engine note of the boxxer. it just sounds like farts.
3: (arguable) shaft drive.

How does this bike compare to a Monster?

Better question, why did you expect to hate it?

BMWs boxxers have never really done it for me. plus the whole weird tele-lever front end.
this has regular forks and new, updated Wasser boxer. and looks a hell of a lot nicer then the older R1200S’s did.

which one? The ducati has no direct competitor to the R1200RS (top image)
the lower picture: based on the R-nine t. The BMW will be more reliable, more refined, and work properly. the ducti will be a little more finicky, hot in traffic, not want to run as much, be more expensive to maintain....
think of it as dating a GORGEOUS, but high maintenance girl (the ducati) VS someone a little more average looking, but easier to get along with(the BMW).
With how much riding I do, i HATE downtime, so i’ve have to go with the BMW. Some want the more visceral experience of the ducati, and that’s totally okay too. Just be prepared to pay for it.

exactly, I think they priced the R nine T out of it’s prospective market. Curious on where prices fall in a few years on the used market. I love the one pictured, but still like the SCR 950 more.

I’m sorry, what’s wrong with shaft drive??? Is it the reliability that’s so horrible to you?

What are you on about? I have 5 gears to choose from! And as far as the weight... are you saying I’m fat? I am, but are YOU saying it?

yes and yes.
changing final drive is almost impossible and its like 6 times the weight of a chat drive. F-that

Yeah. A lot of guys will hot rod a 1300 with the diff from the 1800. It’s quicker, but it increases your cruising rpm to the point that your mileage can go to shit.
And I dropped the rear end on myself in flip flops once when I had the shocks off. It is heavy. Bulletproof, but heavy.

How can you possibly have downtime with seven bikes?
