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

I was looking at the R&g's to but they may be to big i would be worried about them snapping off as they so long and maybe doing damage to frame or leave some theaded bolt left behind when it does snap off! I would also be worried about the warrany to with BMw by using the R&g's on the frame....

Thanks Kevin,

May only be plasitc I guess but prefectly shaped tofit the k12. Will see how much posatge is to be to Uk.

I agree DJ ive seen the sw motech crash bars sure they work but look horrible and make it look even wider!

Thanks Kevin,

Do you think they are worth the money ? or would crash bars be better?

Do you know the link for San hose Bmw?

Thanks

Hey these look good are they avaliable in Europe??

Or can i buy from US? im in the Uk

Thanks Silverr,

Will see how it goes now upto the 600miles first service mention it if it starts to scratch badly.

Im in the Uk and not sure when the K12's came out is there a way of telling from frame/chassis number what year it is?

Id like to see this Bulletin to as I got mine new last week which I guess is an 06' model (any way of telling what year it is?)

And my brake line just skims the glass to on full left lock i dont think enough yet to leave a mark but will in time i think!

Im not sure if I can contain myself for much longer !!! hehe

The yellow in the flesh is a nice mellow yellow not in your face to much, and i love the sports wheels in black to.

Cant wait for winter to try heated grips never had them before!

Im swapping my S4r for a yellow K1200r!

Pick it up next Sat cant wait to try the ESA, i loved the test ride felt like it was made for me

I like the new R1200r but at that price I am tempted by the R1200s at
£8995 for 700 more u get a lot more it seems, then i guess the major cost is in the engine and transmission.

Then the r will suit me more round town

On french moto station there is pics of the r1200r being built! Means its coming soon! http://www.moto-station.com/article1903-visite-express-usine-bmw-moto-a-berlin.html Not read the text but its easy to use an online translator to do so. :D And more pics of it in action!! http://www.moto-station.c...

Biff looks like Ed's pic is from the review raptors and rockets did also shown on motorcycle daily.

Looks to be pointing at the steering damper to me, there to keep the front from tank slapping or being twitchy etc.

Thanks Mike for getting that price hmmmm £8,295 not cheap at all, then it is a new model. Before I got my S4r last time I nearly got an r1150r for £6500 new. How much were r1150r when new ? retail price? Lot of bikes u can get for that sort of money to. I dont get how it is only about 700 less...

MCN say around £8000. The R1200s is about £8975 may as well say £9000. So I can't see the R1200r being more than £8000, wouldve thought less than 8k really.

If it was £8500 not far off the K1200r then either!

Nice first ride review on http://www.motorcycledaily.com

Its wierd how no ones seems to like the racing style reservoirs, they look similar to the brembo gold line ones on my S4r.

Usually people want these and not the coffin or combined cylinder/reservoir u get on the cheaper monster/ older r1150r.

I think they look more racy and smaller to

Well the bike looks real enough to me which is why i posted it

This pic from MCN, looks to show the low 770mm seat, Looks like you really do sit in the bike. Nice to see a real shot to and not studio shots.

I do like this light silver very nice!

I think im in love!!! I nearly got a r1150r last time but got a S4r, now its time to change again I can't wait for it to come out in the UK I hope its before end of year otherwise I will have to have the S4r serviced again then before i p/x. Looks to me like the front mudgaurd just needs to be about...

I believe the newer abs systems as on the new R1200s have no servo assistance and only add 1.5kg in weight.

Guess this is to do with advances in technology
