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

This morning i took the R12R out to a go-cart slalom.
Israel has no racetracks, so this is as good as it gets for me.
Anyway...
This meant that ALL the time was spent in second gear and the corners were TIIIIGHT

But this is a real testament to the R12R's realworld abilities.
The bike handled flawlessly - flicking from side to side without hesitation and during the whole session, it never made me skip a heartbeat or doubt its grip.
It was a hard, technical track - full of sandy corners, really bad asphalt and tight chicanes.

Not that i am a hero or great rider (far from it), but the bike flatters the rider all the way - forgiving stupid mistakes/inputs and rewarding by scraping pegs & allowing fantastic lean angles.
YES - today i was a bit of a hooligan

Here are some pictures:

Great action shots! Looks like it was a fun day.

Very cool, and looking good!
A Kart track sure would be fun, just how I like it, nice and tight.

Cool pics & cool ride.
When I was there in the 80's one of the highways from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem had a truckstop with a giant white Elvis statue & Elvis music playing on loudspeakers. The road, as I remember, had a lot of curves. Is Elvis still there?
