+1 on the Bags Connection system. I had the 'Engage' bag on my R1150R and was very happy with that so wanted it on my R1200R as well. The bag touched the tank though and left some marks, so changed it for a 'Daypack' which doesn't touch any longer. Did 18,000km with it - very happy with it:) . Quick...

My Significant Other rides a 1200RT, me a R1200R. Agree with the opinions above that the RT is a better choice in colder and rainy weather. The SO stays dry as long as he keeps riding :shock: while I on the RR get all wet. Once bought the same gloves as he has because they clearly were dry quicker ....

Congratulations. I test rode the Speed (and Street) triple before switching from R1150R to R1200R (test ride victime here as well :biggrin: ).

@FredeR1200Ric: two interesting websites which I know have competitive pricing on the Schuberth C3 are http://www.polo-motorrad.de (also in English) and http://www.louis.de

Don - Curious to hear more about your experience of how the MPR2s compare to the Conti Road Attacks? My new R1200R was delivered with Conti's. Have done 3,000 km with them till date and very pleased with the tires. They provide good grip and feel very secure in turns. That is, in the dry - for once ...

DJ, I normally only read the postings on this forum, never post myself. But after looking at your awesome pics I just had to! Congrats - you're such a gifted photographer! I ride a silver brother of your black beauty (they didn't sell them in black anymore :cry: ) It's my first bike, have put on 10,...
