More of a BMW guy here... I'd like to have a K1200S, tried it and it was great. Not really into Yamahas.

cool! ive always wanted big bikes

I've allways wondered, how big a difference are there in characteristics between manufacturers? Like, are there small differences, like Mazda and Toyota, or like the difference between a 5-series and a Hyundai Sonata?

Awesome color, that blue looks really good - especially on a Yamaha!

That depends how you look at it. Of course, all the manufacturers make different kinds of bikes, from cruisers, to sportsbikes, supersports, sport-tourers, multipurpose, etc...and the differences between them are like night and day. Within the same segments, however, the bikes can be quite similar. Take a look at the current literbikes or 600 sportsbikes...all the Japanese manufacturers offer very similar products - the Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki models are very similar to each other, as are the Italian twins.

Yes, I did think of models within the same segment.

In that case, then yeah, some of the manufacturers have very, very similar models. Think of it as being even closer than, say, Camry and Accord.
