My 1st ride R1200R

Post by johno »

At last I had a ride on a R1200R today. And also rode F800.
My verdict, I want a R1200GS Adventure. ( rode one of them as well)
F800, no thanks, R1200R, maybe, if the change over value wouldnt be so great to trade my 1150R.
The 1200R was a nice bike to ride, plenty of grunt :D , comfortable
with the high seat on it.
The screen was a waste of time. Needs a bigger one for sure.
Suspension felt good, and rode the bumps well. ( I am 100kg, 220lbs)
The 1200 adventure was brilliant. :D I want one. :twisted:
What a fantastic bike, get rid of the knobbies, and you could play forever.
Didnt feel anywhere as ungainly as my R1150GS that I had years ago.
Anyone got any spare money they dont want?? :cry:
2002 R1150R.
