- can you PM costs incl AirMail to NZ please

Hi Mark, I traded my K1200R on a R1200R 18 months ago for the one simple reason that the head down riding position agravated my back and neck. I ride frequent 500 - 700k days with the odd 1000k thrown in. For example, last weekend Friday to Sunday did 2600k with 1000k on Saturday and the R1200R and ...

Dave, as an aside to the Wudo, those driving lights look also look great. Can you give a link to make and supplier please? Would also appreciate your advice on how you mounted them.

Isn't it interesting the number of ex K1200R owners now R1200R. I too was one however two things made me change to the R1200. Going a bit quick (NZ is hilly and twisty in the best roads and I was continually getting quicker between corners!) and its 'flickability' was heavy work. However saying that...

Ron - happy to go with your decision as you are the one putting it together for us.

Tis Winter down here too - but makes the restraints easier to chew thru.

I go for the two names and the location

Since March 2008 30963k

Now I know why Granite Grey Bikes go faster - the're cleaner

Ron, Happy with your methodology

Great idea - New Zealand will be in

Do you have ESA as I recall seeing something re hugger not fitting where you have ESA.

Who cares that they have not worked it out. Perhaps we should contend that the last R1200R = Renegade.

Hi Brian, Welcome - I also came from an R1200GS after 14000k, traded on a R1200R a couple of weeks ago, and even out this morning, 200k's in the rain and a sport screen I still prefer the R1200R.
Cheers John M

Hi ihosc, Good choice of bike. I've had ESA on both K1200R and on R1200R basically because New Zealand roads have such varying surfaces/bends/corners. From comments down here, I have heard the Ohlins do improve the handling greatly, however I have not experienced them myself. Grey will be worth the ...

OK Guys. Thank you for your welcomes. We obviously have differences of opinions re colour/speed. From my observations there are those that only see things as black or white - which must restrict their reasoning, and those who can see grey areas - which must mean they have some lateral reasoning whic...

Hi Guys - to say hello - have been watching and digesting the info you have posted on the R1200R. It has been very useful especially around the screen posts. I have just taken delivery of a 2008 Granite Grey R1200R (they go faster!), OBC,ESA, BMW bags, racks and rear luggage rack. RT Horn, and now a...
