Rode the R1200R home today in the cold - what a wonderful machine. Can tell right away that I'm going to love this ride. I'm sure there is no possible way to keep it below 4000rpm for 600 miles. Perhaps 98% of the time but it is much smoother and spools up quicker than I expected it to.

Good luck Fly! Yes, what a wonderful machine, huh? Have 250 miles on mine and it is tempting to run it up over 4K, but we must be patient. lol.

Hi!

Got my new R running this thursday too. Revs just exelent, but i also have problem keeping it under 4000 rpm . Dont think it will hurt to drive it a little harder. Bike is nice, nothing to put an finger on so far. 300km so far!

Just rode mine home today. Here's a pic of my old SWB /5 checking out its new stable mate. Same idea just a few generations apart. Maybe I'll call the new bike 'Grandson of /5'.

Great pic of the two.

Where did you get your cyl head protectors?

The covers are a GS part. http://store.bobsbmw.com/index.asp?Page ... rodID=2830

Next comes the GS protection plate for under the engine. The Black Paraberllum is on order.

When is Bob's going to update their site to offer parts for the R1200R?
