Re: How hard to push the motor?

I push my new to me 2007 R12R to the limits on two SMRs and I'm happy to say, it held it's ground with CBRs, GSXs and FJR as long as we are on 130's tops. The bike is happy up in revs but my only gripe is I cant get smooth shifting between 4th-5th at high speeds. We are talking about 110-120's mph. ...

New for me 2007 R1200R first impressions

After a few days that I took ownership of the bike: 1. Got drag off the parking lot after hit by a car- the bike took it nicely to say it nicely. Truly the valve cover protectors did it's job sliding in concrete. It will be replaced it's badly rashed. The r footpeg feelers are gone. The left side th...

Re: So I got my new for me 2007 R1200R

Now here is the thing... She got insurance so I'm sure they will pay. I'm about 250 miles from the nearest BMW dealership. There are other motorcycle dealership in town and smaller motorcycle shops that I actually trust more. Can a non-BMW motorcycle dealership or smaller shop do the estimate and in...

Re: So I got my new for me 2007 R1200R

Good thing a witness, she tried to honk to the driver that she is about to hit my bike, stayed put, called the cops and got all the info (names, insurance). The insurance rep will be calling me soon to assess damage for claim. Actually it's not too bad. The engine protector did its part and the engi...

So I got my new for me 2007 R1200R

So I got my bike in shipped from Chicago last friday. Got the TX inspection and headed straight to DMV to process the title. While I was at the counter, a sheriff tapped my back and said, "Sir, somebody hit your bike at the parking lot". So the valve cover protectors are scratched up, left...

Re: Hello from Texas

I'm from McAllen, Texas. Never seen an R1200R around our area all these years until today parked in the gym where I go. I wonder if he is a member here?
My bike will ship hopefully on March 2 by Allied Shipping. I'm hoping for a smooth sailing to Texas!

Hello from Texas

First post. I've been browsing the pages for about a month now as my interest on R1200R grew the more I read about it. Finally pulled the trigger and bought a new for me 2007 R1200R from a gentleman in Chicago. Now the waiting game is killing me til the bike ships. Coming off from FJR, I am looking ...
