Yes, having work done on the 8th

I took the high comfort seat and had Kontour rebuild it. Now it is an easy 8-10 hour seat !

Thanks all
Just ordered the Cee Baileys

Any used ones out there ? Or reasonably priced new ones ?

How is the performance of the OEM touring windscreen ? Does the wind hit you in the chest, neck or does it clear your helmet ?

If the mail man delivers my package this am, I will install the Madstad on my 2013 R1200R today before I depart for a 2600 mile road trip. The first mounting plate did not fit. The fellows at Madstad were great and very accommodating. Wish me luck !

Thanks !

Like it. Love the smooth delivery of power, with no buzz or engine vibration. I would like to soften the ride a bit so my back is not jolted with every bump in the road I go over.

Just got home with my new R1200R, non-ESA.

Put a deposit on a 90th Anniverary R12R ! I spoke with 5 dealers, Max BMW was by far easiest and best to work with ! The only rub is I will ride 10 hours to their Troy, NY store to make the trade and pick up the new bike. I suppose that by the time I get home Friday night bike will be ready for firs...

thanks all, I explained to the dealer that ESA is an option and they need to look harder. He now gets it and understands. He found it.

BMW on their website says that ESA is available for the R12R, but every dealer I speak with has no idea what I am talking about and says it is not an option. Does the community know what the story is ???? from the BMW website: "The special equipment include safety features such as part integral...

Can the operator pegs be adjusted or do you need to install a third party kit ?

I also have the F800GT. Coming off a 2010 1200 RT I got spoiled by the great ergos And comfort. I am curious as to comparisons with the r 1200 R. How is the wind protection on the R v f GT ?
