about that for a second. A genuine, brilliantly built and engineered, well-performing, thrilling little bike that will do everything you ever ask of it, and come back for more, for $7995. That’s ridiculous. I believe that within weeks you will not be able to get one. So, more regret. When I bought the Korando, I did so because it was affordable, I liked the look of it, it did everything I needed it to do and more, and a friend liked it too. So, even in the throes of automotive xenophobia, I bought an ‘Asian’ 4WD. It has turned out to be the best, most reliable and trustworthy, and cheapest running four-wheeled conveyance ever. BMW will be at pains to make sure that every single bike turned out by that factory exceeds expectations. Look, I know I haven’t told you about the brakes, the fuel system, the dash layout, or any of the tech specs you might expect in reasonable review. Sorry. Go look for yourself. Don’t regret that you didn’t.
