Am I nuts to think I can enjoy either one of these bikes as fairweather/weekend transport? I'm 6'3 and both bikes seem a bit small, but arent they all? I'm over the sport bike thing, just looking for something to tool around on and maybe take to the beach once in a while (~100 miles). Any have or ridden both? I know there are lots of other choices, but these are the two I've boiled it down to.
Knowing that the first one I ride I will most likely buy, any advice one way or the other?

Sorry bout that Chris, my fault for taking this thread 'round a couple times. Mr. Carlton seems to have a lot of experience with BMW, might be worth a PM. I know what you mean about test rides, they are very hard to come by. Personally I like the Ducati looks more than the BMW though I doubt the Duc is even in the same ballpark re quality and reliability. Sorry I can't help much but it's been a long time off this game for me. I'm sure folks will chime in, it's a great group here on Pelican.
