This is my first (new) Reo, an LP Grand. A simple design that is perfectly implemented with great workmanship.

As is the tradition in Reoville, here is the photo of my new lp REO grand

My first Reo, a purple VV grand bought used and sent to Rob for a bill of health, should arrive in a day or two . I will post a photo of it too

Welcome to the mad house of happy vapers. Congrats on the LP Grand. Lovin' the bike I had the fortune to use one when my LT was in the shop.

Thanks, I loved the look of this bike, rode it for a couple of years. I now ride a Triumph speed triple up north and a Honda VFR in Florida.... Btw, while riding, ( in slow zones), I use my V4L Zeus as it is cigar like and hand's free.

For every other situation it will be my Reos. The question is which will become no1 and no2, the LP Grand or the VV Grand...

Well, so welcome to the 'Ville officially, Tangaroav :toast:

Very slick looking unit, and surely the start of what will be a fine, fine collection of reos.

<shout out from a fellow Canadian who heads for warmer climes down south regularly>

... temperatures have started on their downward slope since a couple of days in Mtl. You are better off out west I'm sure. .....another month and I'll be on my VFR.... :2cool:

I love my LT I had a great dealership that stood on it's head for me. I had a ABS problem on my new LT they tried to fix it twice and on the third time into the shop. They came to my house (70 miles away) picked up my bike left the R1200 C to ride until mine was right. They called in the guy from Jersey that trains the mechanics got it fixed and made it up to me by giving me a full size cover, cup holder, and swapped out my black reservoir covers and levers for the chrome ones that come on the GS. Actually they were going to build a LT and bring that to me to ride until mine was fixed. I told the owner if they had the R1200 C already built and used as a demo to bring it instead to save him from having to sell the LT at a reduced price for being used. They had a great business but had to give it up after getting little help from BMW NA during hard economic times. I really miss those guys. By far the best dealership I've ever been involved with.

I had an RT after the R1200C and my experience is that BMW has the best service of them all. The LT is one great bike, I had the chance to test drive one.
