Thx for all the information. I really appreciate it. I will make my decision one off these days soon. I never go off-road with my r12r. In Belgium there are more roads than there are forests or green. The biggest place with only nature is 44km², that says enough. I think the longest distance you ...

ChiTown, another question:

The original tire is 180/55 R17, is it ok to put on 190/50 R17? Does it afflict handling?

Probably a stupid question, but what is “Z-rated”?

@ eisen

thx for the reply.
It's like you said, the r1200r looks very nice and doesn't need any changes. On your RT it looks nice.
My only problem is the sound. My opinion is that the original exhaust sounds a little bit to nice for a 1200cc engine. I do really like the looks off the original one!!
