Just sold my showroom condition Atlanta Blue 02 with ABS and tons of accessories for $6500. (I bought a K1200S that I'm outfitting for touring) I was very sad to part with my beauty. We had bonded long ago but the K is amazing!

K1200S as a tourer?

I'm ready to make a move from 4 years of happiness on my Atlanta Blue R. I just need a change and some wind protection. I was waiting for the K1200GT thinking it would be the perfect tourer. Now that it is out (at least in pictures) I am very disappointed with the boxy looks and bleak colors. Furthe...

My 2002 w/ 30,000 miles has been making the same noise at least for the past 20K. Everyone tells me what an incredibly reliable engine it is and that it will run forever. I've never had a problem so I guess they are right. I just wish it didn't sound like it is ready to vibrate apart at any moment. ...

Mine are mounted to the plastic under the oil coolers. I suspect that the vibration is not as intense as it is if mounted to metal. 18 months is about right and I leave the switch on day and night. Voltage surge is probably overrated. I also stripped the philips screws. 1 refused to come out, ended ...
