I just sold my BMW 1100RT. It's the end of an era for me. No more bikes. I don't ride long distances anymore and this bike was made for the road. It is a beautiful machine. When I saw it sitting behind the new owner's trailer, about to leave me, I had the same feeling I had when I bought it. "Damn, that is a sweet piece of machinery." I was having second thoughts, but it was too late.
I've driven a Miata, formula Vs and Fords on a track and it was fun - competent machines that do what they do well, but I could walk right away. I've never walked away from my 911, or my Speedster, or this bike without looking back and smiling and thinking about how pleasing they look and how cool it is to have the privilege to drive them. I feel kind of deflated.
