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

Well, the plan is to test ride a R1200R and a K1200R tomorrow. Saw the K12R recently and I really like the looks. Not necessarily what I may "need" but that is one cool looking bike. Interesting thing, though, called my insurance company and the quoted me almost double to insure the K12R v...
