I bought the bike from KLRKID in Tennessee, found it for sale here on the forum after lurking around for many months. "What led you to choose the S10 as your 1st street bike?" Lots of reasons.....I have been riding Motocross since my teens and on and off in my 30's and 40's....im 50 this year. All that experience has built a strong desire to ride gravel/dirt roads and progress to tougher off-road trips later on. I was wrapped up for nearly 10 years as my son raced Motocross here in Florida. As his time racing came to a close (Broken arms, collar bones, concussions, Broken femur, dislocated shoulder) I found myself wanting to travel on a bike. I've always like the look of the BMW's so when I had the chance (3) times, I rented F800's and had a blast. I rode in NC and Colorado..... Read about all sorts of issues and eventually read about the S10, with nearly no issues. I had never heard or seen one on the road! I did rent a Harley (Dyna) twice, but found that just not my type of bike. I'm learning to ride in traffic, but the bike itself has been easy to ride. Even though its bigger and heavier than the F800, It feels lighter and easier to ride and balance.
