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

Thanks you guys, I'm taking this all to heart. To summarize, here is what I've learned: 1) I will love the Bike 2) I'm doing the right thing 3) I'm on the right track with subterfuge for plan A, but need to step it up with 650-xc decoy decals, etc 4) Plan B is lying and I better get some practice. I...

Well, I don't know what it's like to ride an r12r, but I now know what it's like to order one. Thanks for that guys. she'll be an '09, black, tall seat, pretty much all the bells and whistles - sans side bags or white tail lights. My current plan is to ride the 650 xc to the dealer and ride back on ...

Thanks Doug. I followed your link to the other site and enjoyed the post (but couldn't find any pics). Do you think the ABS system in the r12r is the same as the ABS system in my 2007 G650 x-country. That also works with the power off, though it's unclear to me if the front and rear brake are linked...

Lifer - thank you very much for the feedback. (To answer your question - "Country fang" is not part of my vernacular and, as a city kid, it conjures an image of something I would look for in the zoo. That said, I like it a lot and will try it out on some of my riding buddies.) i'm interest...

excellent feedback. my first bike was a 250 dual sport and, i must confess, i find the 650 nearly as nimble. i really don't do any offroading and use the bike similar to you - commuting with occasional longer day rides (100-300 miles, no marathon treks planned). how would you compare the nimbleness/...

you are exactly the guy i have been looking for. i have a 650 x-country and thinking about trading up to an r12r. i am enticed by all the gizmos, the looks and the extra power. i have about 5k under my belt, primarily city driving - still a relative novice. i'm 6'2" with a 33 inch inseam. what ...

wow! first, let me say that this is the single most helpful message board i have ever seen. thank you to everyone who answered my post. Your input is incredibly helpful. To answer some of the queries, my chronological age is 49, so i have a reasonable grip on the risks of motorcycling. My emotional ...

I'm a relative motorcycle novice, having about 3 years and 3000 miles of experience (mostly city riding). My first bike was a yamaha 250, which i traded in for the 650 x-country. I ride mainly in the Philadelphia, but occasionally take 150 mile rides to a vacation house. the abs, which attracted me ...
