I have an MTS1200. Coming from Harleys, I think you would like it a lot - v-twin, far more sporty, lightweight, etc. Especially for road touring, since it is slightly more biased that way than the BMW. Coming from sportbikes, I wish it had a more forward position... And otherwise the bike is pretty much flawless. It rides well around town, it rides well on the highway, I haven't done too much off-road with it yet. The only mod I am thinking about doing to it is projector HIDs. If I was going to do it again, would I buy another one? No. But only because I miss having a sportbike and would probably get an Aprilia RSV4 Factory or Vyrus 986.

I bought a Nightster today ... not quite sure why. It was absurdly cheap ($5k for a 2009 with < 3000 miles), I couldn't pass it up.
Cool - thanks for your thoughts. There are quite a few MTSs and BMWs available on Craigslist, Cycletrader, etc. so I guess I'll just keep my eye out for the right bike. I think I'll eventually end up with more bikes but one of these two will be the first. I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing out on other makes in the same class. Do you have any thoughts o knowledge on the 1000 and 1100 cc versions of the MTS? I like the 1200 and all but am not sure about all the technology... I want a motorcycle not a robot on wheels
BigA's whim purchase inspired me. Sold my Bonneville since I had too many road bikes. This filled a pretty good gap.
Ha ha I refuse to accept responsibility, though I fully endorse the purchase.
