Better than a R1200GS...

...probably the best MOTORCYCLE period.The R1200R according to BIKE.I agree.
A bike fast enough and capable on the track (with Ohlins and flatter LSL bar),good and practical to cummute (low maintenance,reliable and frugal on gas) and capable to go touring on (two up + gear)
Not as glorious as a dedicated track hack the journos love but then they don't have to make the payments and live everyday with in for the next five years...
I just wished it looked as good hand had the clear windflow of my 11S.Maybe they can graft the 12S bodywork on it... :wink:
Otherwise like it a lot!
The best BMW right now in my opinion...
In black with Ohlins,small sportshield,Remus Hexacone,full size bags...yummy!
But I don't know if I could trade the 11S on it which says a lot about the S that already has been around for almost 10 years!

I've just had my first shot on one today - the K1200R is in for some warranty work.

What a sweet bike the R1200R is. I don't think I would buy one as it's all a bit plain (never been a fan of the single 7" round headlamp), but it does everything very well.
