I have both the bar-backs and an aftermarket windshield. These are always subjective but for me I would not ride without either. I am 6' tall and my riding style and posture is decidedly more touring than sport. I bought my bike with the BMW sport shield and replaced it in short order. I have a Aer...

Felt great on the test ride except for a couple issues/questions: - I think I would need to get barbacks/risers... It seemed like I was sliding forward on the seat, into the tank a little. (I'm...

R1150R vs R1150R vs R1150R...

I'm looking to get back into motorcycling... and am also interested in a R1150R. I've found what looks to be a couple of good 2004's on the market in my area. One is a deeep red color, the other is a dark grey/blue color. Is there any place that lists the colors that were availble in the USA for the...
