Re: What seat are you using on your R1200R

I'm on the verge of ordering the wunderlich seat, looks great and well designed to me. Does anyone have any experience/feedback on it yet?
My stock regular height seat kills me and I did not like the air hawk cushion at all, made me feel disconnected from the bike.

Re: A new Roadster!

was very worried that this bike would ruin my 1200R happiness because it rides so nicely..... like when I rode the 12R for a test ride, and then had to get back on my old, heavy, slow, ugly R1150R.... luckily that's not the case and when I got back on my 12R she still felt good and exciting enough ...

Re: Happy, happy. Joy, joy....

I saw that bike on ebay and thought it was one of the nicest bikes/deals I had seen in a while.
Well done, I bet you will love it!

Cool custom R12R

Saw this custom on hellforleathermagazine.com, looks pretty fresh to my eyes! The R12R seems such a nice canvas to work from, I'm suprised we don't see more creative adaptations than we do. http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx40/gunnarsonharald/5122929127_0bb4b8c9d3_b.jpg http://i739.photobucket.co...

Re: Top box or side cases?

I use the top case only and find it tremendously handy. Easy access to throw things in quick, plenty of room for helmet or other things, don't have to bend over to open/fill. Good support for the wife when forced to take her with (not sure if that counts as upside or downside) No issues at speed. ju...

Re: Fair Purchase Price '09 1200R, 2100 miles

Gezerbike, your bike looks excellent and at an equally excellent price. I'm surprised its still on the market. If you part out those 'farkles' (sorry but I hate that term) I suspect people will be falling over each other to pick them up including myself. The original used non-abs bike that started t...

Re: 2011 models

I heard the same thing from a BMW salesperson in the northeast, 2011 getting dohc engine but not going to be brought to US market. Hard to know what to believe but that along with a few other reasons and I ended up trading in my r12r for a new 2010 model.
I love this bike!

Not exactly the road less travelled. More like my driveway soon after her birth.
Only difference now is the rear rack.
