This bike is WAY beyond my riding capabilities. Come to think of it most bikes are.
I took my 750 out for a ride recently and boy what a strange difference after riding the BMW for two weeks. Wide seat, sitting on the bike instead of in the bike, feet forward etc. I even skidded the back tire while braking. Starting to already get spoiled by ABS!It's a good lesson to switch back and forth often so as not to lose too many riding skills aquired only by riding our classic bikes.No signature :(

Well just 2 days shy of 4 months since I bought my 1300r and I took it in for it's 10,000km (actually have 10,900kms on it ) service.
No issues. I never thought I would own a new bike bike but I gotta say I love this bike!
There certainly was more than a few nay sayers here when I mentioned thinking about buying the bike back at xmas time, and to you I say thanks for the advice but this bike has been nothing short of brilliant!
Don't get me wrong...I still love my old GS bikes and love to ride them but it's a totally different experience.
If you have ever thought about buying a new bike but have not...my advice to you would be do it! Life is way too short. And besides, it's only money.No signature :(

Great bike. Glad it was all you had hoped.
It's up there in the two or three new/er bikes I'd look at. Then again I consider the original K1200r a newer bike.
Naked and big enough for larger size hominids. I can only guess at the acceleration by referencing my old XX.
I suppose trying to bring one to the States would not be worth the night mare. Can get pretty close with a K1200r...
I'll probably sell the 1100e and get something new/er.
Anyway, thanks for the vicarious experience.
