A buddy of mine who is not very tall just bought a lowered suspension r/r and he loves it. I took a spin on it, and it felt pretty good even for my 6 foot plus frame. I think you made an excellent choice. Frankly, being really comfortable on a bike is absolutely the first priority. In fact, I have h...

My sense of the R1200R is that it is really a very different bike than the R1150R. The 1200 is very light and gives the feel of an elegant sports bike.

I thought perhaps a squirrel had built a nest in the wires, or soemthing. Anyway, when I took the battery out, I got the same response, namely...

Just purchased a slate blue 2004 R1150R on Ebay. It had 41 miles on it. No typo. 41 miles. The fellow bought it on a whim right out of MSF course. Dropped it on each side, freaked out, then put it in the garage for two years (He'd bought it in December of '05) Anyway, the scratches are very slight, ...
