Keep an Eye on the Oil Level

It's good to hear about the dealerships that go above and beyond. The FD issue would be a bummer for sure. Maybe BMW will fix this one day.

Test Ride.....
I ride a 2009 Wee Strom, and if I were to ride 2 up, the 100o would be my pick. The 650 is "OK" solo (IMHO). Good luck.

Tubes Suck!
If tubes bug ya, then walk away. Tubeless is the way to go on a street bike. I like the look of lace wheels, but tubes are a deal killer for me. YMMV.

Welcome aboard Mike. The only practical way to decide which bike works best for you, is to take a lengthy test ride on each of them. Anything else is pure speculation. Good luck.
