Re: Hey all, new Rockster owner here.
Hey all, Just an update on this bike. We had Bob's BMW do some more looking into it, and what they came up with as far as its origins is still confusing. They basically figured out that it was a US spec bike (odd thing #1), sold originally in Germany (#2), and ended up in the US (#3). I honestly hav...

Re: Bought a Rockster LEMON with 1400 miles TODAY from Ride
I agree. Contact the dealer and see what they can do for you. I'm sure they would like to keep your business. I don't think the bike will fall into the "lemon" catagory unless you have had a similar failure over and over again after it has been fixed. Also, just to add, it would not fall ...

Your speedo is accurate within 1-2 mph. I clocked it next to a car today.

Re: Hey all, new Rockster owner here.
Hey all, So we contacted a dealership in 'Canadia' yesterday and found out that it is in fact a Canadian spec bike. Now the concern that I have is: is my mileage accurate? The speedometer reads both in MPH and KMH, with MPH being the larger font, predominant measurement. I assume it's pretty simple ...

Re: Hey all, new Rockster owner here.
Herb- I like that more than the Laminar. Looks a little less conspicuous, which is something I want to keep for the Rockster's style. I had my local Beemer store run the VIN for me yesterday. Same thing- no information in the U.S. database whatsoever. He recommended that I call BMW international and...

Re: Hey all, new Rockster owner here.
Welcome G.A.! Your Dad took pics of my screen Saturday at Natural Bridge. Nice guy. Be aware that Rockster and Roadster headlights are different, the Rockster guys here can guide you though. Be warned, picking the right windscreen is harder than picking a wife. http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/...

Re: Hey all, new Rockster owner here.
Greetings from Canada and welcome to the board. Great looking bike! Though I hate to break it to you that it's not a Canadian spec bike based on the paint scheme. We got the same orange or green bikes as the US got, in addition to the edition 80. That being said since it's a custom paint job you wo...

Hey all, new Rockster owner here.
Hey everyone. My name is G.A. I like long walks on the beach, dirty pictures, fast cars, and most recently, my 2005 Rockster. I picked her up last night and rolled 3,000 miles on the way home from the dealership. Apparently it's a Canadian spec bike, and this color combo was never sold in the states...
