Actually I've decided to rent a Harley for a day next week, and take it for a serious drive before making up my mind about anything. Not sure which one. Likely to be either a Fat Boy or a Road Glide—judging from the list of bikes they have available for rental.

But I'm kind of leaning towards picking up the basic black R 1200 R pictured above, and then maybe customizing it a bit to make it look more like what I believe a motorcycle should look like. (There are some aftermarket shops in Germany that have wonderful bits you can put on the new BMW's to tone down the current "Mad Max meets The Jetsons" look they all currently seem to have.)
