Re: The R1200R Photo Discussion Thread!

Rode down to Boyer WV this past weekend to meet up with a group from the XL Forum. I have ridden on group rides with several of the members in the past. Here is a pic of the motel rooms in the back with several of the bikes http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa67/steveewf/Bike/WV-Ride_03_zps10b0f022...

Re: 2013 Beakster Bash, May 16-19, Marietta, OH

I plan to ride in on Friday afternoon. Guess I will look for all the BMW's in the parking lot ;) Not looking forward to rain. I don't let it stop me, but to me its really not fun to ride in the junk.

See everyone Friday. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Re: Fuel Strip Failure - interesting thread..

For the price of these motorcycles you would think BMW would engineer a reliable fuel monitoring system that provided accurate instant MPG/K, average MPG/K, distance renaming in M/K and a warning that comes on before the tank is dry. I mean even HD has had basic fuel monitoring for their FI Sportste...

Re: Factory Touring Windshield on Facelift Roadsters

I have the touring shield on my 2013. I think its great. But then I came from a 2005 HD 1200R without any windshield that I generally used for touring and longer rides.

Re: 2013 Montego R12R w/bits

Looks good, thanks for the info. I have a 2013 and put about 300 miles on it before bad weather settled in. When I take it in for the 600 mile service I will discuss the header and slip on mods with the mechanic.

From what I see a new Remus header and slip on were installed right out of the box?? What type of HP and torque improvements do you see with that setup and how does it effect the warranty? I like the looks of the Remus slip-on.

Thanks

Take the fun way down from Columbus. 555
Hey Biff. I generally make 555 part of a trip down into WV and back home every year. Fun ride. I am originally from Parkersburg WV. Coming down Friday I will probably take 33 to 550 into Marietta. Might pick up 555 on the way home Sunday.

Re: Some New Farkles for My 08 R1200R...enjoy.

How do you like the new seat? I love it. By far the best motorcycle upgrade I have ever invested in. The difference between the stock plank and the Sargent is really night and day. If I had to describe it I would say you sat ON the stock seat, and you sit in the Sargent. Love it. Thanks, I want to ...
