Departing soon

Post by RadRider »

I have given my 2010 R1200R a good year of test riding, modifications and accessorizing but it still doesn't suit me well. I am returning to the touring world either to an RT or new K16GT. I have listed her on eBay and hope to find her a good new home. For those interested please go to ebay item 280687836215

I hear you as it is the same with me. The bike does not fit me well and I just feel cramped riding it.

How big a boy are you? I'm 6'4" with a 34" inseam and even before I had my seat redone the bike was about as comfy as any I've ever had. Sorry to see you guys bail, good roads.

Thanks for not slamming the bike on your way to another steed. Not every bike is right for everyone but it sounds like you sure tried.

Good luck finding that perfect bike.
I don't know of a break in period for life, I guess I'll just live it like I stole it.
