I trade in my 1200R against a HP2 with added motard wheels.
Nice..

It is a barebones Motorcycle! No flesh! High definition.
I will mount the enduro wheels now when I have done the north to south ride on gravelroads, clay, water, ice, snow and some tarmac too!
It is never to late to do the right thing!

A little more dirt on a bike who rocks on more surfaces than the r1200r!
And it is very easy to park.
/Rune, no, i think it is marocchi fork!

Congratulations! I'm sure the HP will be much more fun in Sweden than the 12R - we don't have much country like that within a half-day ride of here sadly.

Have you ever thought what it would be like to have a front end like that on your R1200R? I have. Maybe save some weight.
