Aspiring Lemans owner in New England...

[bridgepress]

Hi,

 

I've been quite taken with the MG LeMans, at least from what I've seen. I've ridden BMW's for about ten years, including a 1972 R75/5 which I adore, and my current daily ride, a 2004 R1150R with plenty of modifications for touring comfort. The R1150R is a flawless ride, and I have no complaints and no aggravation, complete and utter predictability. But I can't get it out of my head that riding can be more fun (my '72 Beemer is a constant thrill), and I'm pretty obsessed with the notion of owning a LeMans.

 

Thing is, I haven't ridden one (and can't find one nearby to try out). Any former or current BMW riders care to offer a comparision? What should I look for in a used LeMans (I'm considering a 2003 or 2004 with under 10K miles)? Any other advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,
