Re: 2013 Montego R12R w/bits

Bruce, Thanks for the nice note. Sorry to hear about your medical keeping you off the bike. Hope that won't be long before your back in the saddle. I'm enjoying mine every day, lot's of riding and riders in Arizona. Temps have been a little on the chilly side lately but 70s coming back again soon an...

Re: 2013 Montego R12R w/bits

It is interesting to see the comments by many. Everyone has their own ideas of what is right. I personally am happy with my bike, I've owned a lot of bikes and automobiles (new and used). I am very happy with the performance enhancements that I have made. It was my intention to share some (what I th...

Re: 2013 Montego R12R w/bits

That's right. New personality with the new exhaust, the stock system was choking it with the emission control systems.

Re: 2013 Montego R12R w/bits

Full exhaust in my opinion is a MUST for the R12R, the bike came to life after this change. The PCV enables an appropriate diet of air/fuel ratio. I just ordered the dual mode switch (for the PCV) so that I can have a specific map for the current mode with quieter baffle module installed and one for...

Re: 2013 Montego R12R w/bits

Regarding the branding of the exhaust... They supplied a sticker but I don't think I'll put it on. There is a section on the end piece that has the SC Project laser etched and looks great. I like the stealthy look it has. I was pricing some of the US aftermarket slip-on exhaust systems, pricing at a...

Re: 2013 Montego R12R w/bits

Yes about 300 miles on it as of today. Dealer approved and fully warrantied. Remus Header SC Project slip-on Power Commander V with custom dyno tune I installed the PCV and exhaust myself, dealer was going to be very expensive for these two easy projects. Stock the bike seemed a little sluggish from...

Re: 2013 R1200R 90th years

Hello Australia,

They are telling me $395 here in the US for the 90th anniversary model. I probably going to stick with the blue... I think it looks great, 5 or 6 more weeks for delivery.

Re: 2013 R1200R 90th years

Thanks for the photos and comments... I really enjoy the Montego Blue color, but the nifty flavor of a 90th Anniversary model and the timing of it (with mine being on order from the factory). I have hesitation with the BLACK in Arizona (heat) and nighttime riding visibility? I do enjoy the silver co...

2013 R1200R 90th years

Hello, What are your thoughts on the new 90th year version of the R1200R, no real performance enhancements but some nice visual bits of shinny parts. https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/pressclub/p/us/pressDetail.html?title=90-years-of-bmw-motorrad&outputChannelId=9&id=T0134355EN_US&left_menu...
