Is there anyone out there with any experience with the R1200C or CL. My friends are telling me that I need to add a cruiser to my garage. I love my 04 R1150R. Do I need a cruiser? I sure like the looks of the R1200C and the CL. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.....

MikeB, I think you'll find the Pirate's backrest just what you need. I strenghtens stock rack and provides the pillon rider with real security. I bought the roll bag that slips over the back rest and although I have mixed feelings about the looks, I have to admit it's been pretty usefull when I did...

Sunbeemer thanks for the info on the Pirate's Lair. Based on your recommendation I just ordered one. It looks exactly like what I'm looking for, and it’s removable so that it doesn’t have to stay on when I'm riding one up. Thanks again. I moved here to Missouri in 2001 from New Port Ri...

"DG02" Thanks for the info. That sounds like what I'm looking for. I did a search for the "Journey 50" with no results. Do you remember where or from who you purchased that case? The search that I did earlier revealed a rack (for their Journey TC42) from Hepco & Becker that r...

Are there any R1150R riders out there that believe you need an additional bike. I've looked at the R1200C and I like what I see. Anyone with experience with that model and why BMW stopped making it. I've only had my ride for about 3 months (2,000 miles) but I really like it. Do I need an additional ...

Does anyone know of a rear top case (hard) with a backrest? My 2004 R1150R has an OEM rack and System Cases. Or if there is not a case is there a backrest only that is available. My wife (who said she would never ride on that thing) would like a backrest. Thanks for your help...

No I'm not. I just took delivery of my new (to me) 2004 R1150R (Black) last Thursday morning. This is the most fun I've had in a long time. I've been asking myself since why I have waited so long to try out this whole motorcycle thing. It is really a lot of fun :D . In just 2 days of riding I've put...

Thank you all for the encouragement, I will take heed. I already have a video to watch. I also doing this venture with a couple of friends that are also going into this for the first time. I'm planning on having a lot of fun. As for the post from "dragonmojo", my wife did't see the humor i...

What is out there as far electrical connections for accessories? Are there OEM outlets for accessories or is there aftermarket items that are best. What accessories are considered ok and how many are to many. I don't want to look like a dork out there. I am new to this. Thanks in advance for your he...

Has anyone out there had any experience with DAS Motorcycle Shipping? I've decided to use them to ship a bike from Pittsburg to Missouri. It may be to late if what you tell me is that they are bad news. I guess I'm hoping that some of you have had a good experience with them. Thanks in advance for y...

Hello all. I am totally new to this Motorcycle stuff. I haven't ridden a motorcycle since my high school days and I graduated in '72. I did ride a moped a lot in the late'70's (used to sell them). I do have a lot of experience on a different form of two wheels as I do ride a bicycle a lot for fitnes...

Does anyone know the interior dimensions of the BMW city cases. Is there room for a large laptop? Or maybe someone knows of an alternative way to carry a laptop. Thanks in advance for your help.....

Doug, thanks alot for the link.....

Doug, sorry but I am new to this forum. Who or Where is "Bob's". Thanks for your help....

Thanks all for the information, I've been thinking about a tank bag also. Has anyone had any experience with the ones that require a mounting bracket that fits to the fuel filler neck. Those look pretty intreging to me. All your help is appreciated. Thanks....

Hello all. I'm new to this forum. I just bought a R 1150 R off of eBay. Should arrive soon (not soon enough). Where is the best place to order/buy the OEM City Cases? Any other helpful information for a new BMW owner would be appreciated. Thanks....
