For the first time in a long while the bike I want today is the one I've got. I never really fell in love with my 1150GS, although it was a great bike I'd been riding it less and less and decided it was time for a change.

Test rode everything Beemers, Guzzis, even went to a HD dealer, and decided I'd have a KTM 990SMT, but when I was in the dealers last week I had a quick spin on their RC8 and fell in love.

Picked it up yesterday, even in the peeing rain it felt special, just need to work out what to do about luggage.

Test rode one yesterday. I could see riding one of these a long time.

Ive wanted a Benelli motorcycle for a long time. This Tre K Amazonas especially. I have no idea where to find a Benelli dealership and thats the biggest drawback for me.

Thats actually a relief... the nearest one is about 450 miles away... 2nd closest is 800. Thats enough to talk me out of it.

Umm... Sorry, but Columbia, SC is just a couple hundred miles straight down I-20 from Decatur...... Then there's Raleigh, NC...

Previous/current Benelli owners should be able to talk you out of it
even if you had a dealership in the same street as yours.
