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

I've test riden 3 of them locally (two 1200, one 1150). Nice bikes, but all were off for me ergonomically so it was hard to envision what "mine" would ride like. One had a super low scooped seat w/ barn door shield, one had a high seat w/ aftermarket bars & Wilber shocks, etc.

Geez, you all are making it awfully difficult for me to not by an R.

Well, I'm certain the R is great and perhaps is the best bike for me, but my RT isn't enough of a problem to justify the hassle of a switch right now. This past summer was my first on an RT, and it was a mild one here in The South. Maybe after a typical sweltering one I'll be more motivated to make ...

Hmm, starting to think I should by an R.

Thanks for all the advice! I have made a decision, for now at least. If my garage was empty and I was looking for one bike, I would definitely buy a R1200R. Maybe that will happen one day soon, but not now. My garage has 2 bikes that complement each other well, and I currently don't have the motivat...

I don't need my next bike to be as quiet as my RT. I've had several cruisers with garden variety Memphis Shades windscreens and have been quite happy with them (noise wise). I just want to make sure the R is a bike that I ride for 5 days straight on twisty country roads and not have my ears ringing ...

Anyone here come to the R1200R from an R1200RT??? I love my RT. I ride it hard, fast and long with great comfort. But, it's just too dang hot in the summer. Also, I think the body panels make me too disconnected to the road. I often get bored unless I'm on challenging twisty roads. Not a good bike f...

Yes, I would be interested in buying your side stand (but not the center stand). Please do get back with measurements if you can.

If anyone else can post a measurement in the meantime, that would be great.

Thanks!!!

Does anyone out there have a factory lowered R1200R? If so, I need a HUGE favor...

I need to know the exact length of your side stand. Could you give me a measurement and tell me exactly how you measured it (from where to where). This would be a huge help.

Thanks!!!
