BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Always thought the flat forward position on the Rockster I had was great, I found the standard R bars are a more of a sit up and beg!

Yes, also like...

Wonder if they've improved the gearbox a little more? No more *CCCCRRRUNCH* at the lights would be nice!

Still miss mine, no servo brakes, standard indicators, be interesting when it hits.

Bry

Gotta admit with those wheels and the naked look, with the 800cc motor it'd be a great little package

I'd give thumbs up for it!

Bry

Heya...


GS... "the other BMW" well, at least there's a spot here!

So who else is a GS owner in these parts?

Bry

Congrats!

They're a hell of a machine

Bry

pfft..

The ONLY point worth merit in this K12R discussion is...

Milla Jojovich rode one...

nothing else matters....

*stares at desktop wallpaper...

*grabs the microfiche*

Surely she's got a part number!

heh...

'cept the license cops a beating!

But DJ's right.

I'll second that Dave, got the duotone laser on mine as well... Sounds fantastic!

Bry

the K's feel a little slow to respond at slow speeds initially, but are much more "flickable" when going faster....

Bridgestone 020's..

and because I've been riding like a wuss lately, I've somehow managed to get 14K out of them so far...

it's embarassing..

When I first got the KR it had a much coarser motor which since the updates has been rectified. Starts/idles and goes so much smoother, (perhaps the milage as well helps I've done a shade over 13K now). I'd have not said the vibration was worse than any I4 when you're going hard. Certainly in compar...

ST's seat kinda forced your nurries at the front a bit, but was better in my view (that being the large cushy bit I sit on) whereas the Rockster always seemed to cut into the inner thighs. You have a deal more weight on the wrists as well... Whereas the KR? you accelerate, this keeps ALL the weight ...

heh heh heh


hell Ranmar that's what I did also, VERY neat toy, and the pull that bike has compared to the Rockster was great!

Don't try the KR

Bry

My wife says the K12R is ok for 100-150K's before a break, the R12ST and R1150R was better apparently....

I use a ventura bag rack on mine (which can be used with the pannier kit fitted) and she finds that easier to grip as it's a little higher.

Bry

Congrats!

The bikes a nasty piece of work, made to make you smile...

Twist & go...



Bry

Hmmm.... you know I never realised it hated pulling the front wheel up... I'll stop immediately!





Bry

Must admit, I really do like the R1200S. It's a great looking bike, maybe a little easier on the eye that the K1200R. I'm not saying better, just depends on your perspective; The R1200S is more pleasing to the eye, perhaps the sort of bike 'ya mother would like you to bring home. Whereas the K1200R...

Wow! certainly going to stand out


Looks good.


Bry

Top shots!

Really like the first one... well done!
