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

Very good to know. Thanks for the input everyone. Hopefully I'll be picking up a new R12R next week.

Thanks. I stand corrected.

Still what does the DOHC that everyone is excited about bring aside from Hp/Torque? e.g. Is there a reason to hold off on buying a 2011?

Google translation does a pretty good job. http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.omnimoto.it%2Fmagazine%2F3919%2Fbmw-r1200r-2011&sl=auto&tl=en Honestly all this DOHC talk doesn't really excite me. I'm abou...

So I'm getting pretty close to pulling the trigger on a new R12R (or 12GS.. still undecided) and would like to know what the deal with haggling is. Everyone always says they got X for Y so I assume everyone when they buy a new vehicle does some song and dance, but I have (foolishly) never done this ...

The tail shot does look like a catalog photo of some sort and not a real picture.

It's about a 2 hour drive to take a look at it.

I am thinking maybe it was dumped and the luggage has scratches hence the fake shot.

I should probably pass or be very suspicious.

I am considering taking a look at this and was wondering what the folks here thought of it. Not sure if it is the abs model and emailed about that. Still awaiting a reply from the seller.

That is a shame. I wonder if there is a similar case option that'll fit the R12R. Something thats big, clunky, overly durable, and doesn't look like integrated luggage.

Btw, your username cracked me up because I misread it and thought I had blacked out and replied to myself.

Hi first time poster.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the 12GS hard cases with the 12R?

Haven't been able to find any answer searching around.
