Motorbike Feedback from our Guests

So this year we added the BMW R1200 RT, the Moto Guzzi Breva 1100, and the Aprilia RSV 1000R:

The BMW R1200 RT was our response to the now extinct Trophy. People seemed to really enjoy the Beamers for the comfort level and touring capabilities. RMMH was planning on adding the BMW F650 GS for ‘08. However, we’ve recently received numerous requests for the R1200 GS which appears to be emerging as one of the top adventure touring bikes. Should we add the 650 GS, the 1200 GS, both?

We just noticed BMW’s plans to introduce the F800 to the GS line-up. What are people saying about this compromise between the 650 and the 1200?

Also, we’re looking into establishing a formal rental agreement with our local Harley Davidson dealership. This would allow us to facilitate a Harley rental for our tours much more easily. Not everyone’s cup of tea we know, but a solid portion of the European market wants to ride North America on a Harley. Not to mention our American clients who ride a Hog back home. Who would be keen to rent a Harley for our tours?

Do you have any comments about changes Triumph made for 2007 to the Tiger and Sprint?  Do you prefer the old-style Tiger, or feel the change is for the better? How about the ‘08 Triumphs? Does anyone have an opinion on the new Street Triple? Maybe a little too small?

Any thoughts on the Italian motorbikes we’ve added? We think the Guzzi’s a solid touring bike and the Aprilia is a great toy for those off-day rides.

We love to hear your comments - good and bad!
