Thank you and good luck with your bike. Nice story!

[@kwakkers68]

PS - I hope you've kept the K! They're getting rare now! :-)

[@kwakkers68]

Be very interested to hear what you make of this. A few years back, I tried one out .. and liked it, but I ended up going for the K1200S (noted for having some niggles, at least a % of the early models, I sold mine and went back to the Green, perhaps over cautious, but I also like having bikes I can fix myself - Can-bus wiring not so good for this) Oh for the good old days of copper wiring, and carbs! :-)))

At last, your new bike ! I'm not keen on R models... and even more, on last BMW models... since K75 :D... But she looks beautiful. I'll be interested with your comparison R1200 vs K75. Of course, not the same generation !

Netjes mooie motor 👌👍

Oef! Dat is intussen een oudje. Doet me met heimwee terugdenken aan mijn '06 RT waarmee ik dik 140.000km gereden heb. Toffe motor. Maar nu in afwachting van mijn '21 1250 RT.

How is the clutch pull for a 2008? My fjr was pretty stiff. Sat on a 2014 model with a very easy pull.

[@BMWK75Rider]

Compared to modern bikes it's stiff.

Aren't R motors fun? Especially with 110 HP. Waiting for the ride review.

[@austinmatthews347]

i agree they are just enough for the road i have a gen 1 tuono and a gen 2 z1000sx and i can say the k26 rt hex head is just a riot its obviously not as agile as my otjer bikes but what a weapon its a wolf in sheeps clothing i intend to keep mine a long time
