Thanks

I wanted to thank you all for your comments, especially on things I hadn't thought of, such as tire replacements. I didn't realize tires on bikes wore out so fast (especially since my Michelin Hydroedge's are supposed to go 80k miles).

Your expertise really helps clarify issues. I think you guys are right, that it won't be a cost savings to me and that I really need to consider if I want/need a motorcycle.

As an aside, do you think ~$3800 is a fair price for a 2007 BMW 650 X Country (the price was $4500, but I live in an area where "luxury items" don't really sell)? Have any of you ridden one of the Brammos?
