start movie !

...said 'yes' this morning...
...same color as in the movie (Piedmont Red Metallic), with ESA, heated grips, cruise control, bord computer, alarm, and also the large top box, first registered in Febuary 2006, and with 7.196 miles on it...

...we can pick it up in three weeks...

...happy chap here ! :wave:


...our touring experience started with this...

...after a while it became this...

...and back to a red one...
...this is not ours ; but the same color, almost the same specs, and we will have our top box painted as well...

Very nice capable bike and imo a big improvement on the 1150.

...but my son said he had more space on the 1200, than on the 1150...

...we collected the bike today ; and it is faster, smoother, and it has much more comfort than the old one...

Ron,
That looks like a bmw sportintregral helmet on the riders seat, if it is, what do you think of it ? Does it leak around the visor and do you find it quiet at speed ? Got to find myself a new helmet thats quiet, light and has a removable lining and this one ticks the boxes. Tell us what you think.

thanks, mike

Hi Mike !

...indeed that's a Sportintegral, and I like it...

...don't know if it leaks around the visor, I always ride with the visor a bit open. I like fresh air..; but, if I have the visor completely closed, the helmet is very quiet ; on the RT a bit more, than on the S, but I think you can imagine that...

...would I buy it again ?
...yes !
Have a nice day !

Ron.
