Welcome Dimitris. Nice bike - you made the right choice regardless of the roads in Greece. I know that they're not all horrible, having spent quite a bit of time in your wonderful country. The traffic in Athens is another story though. . .
I'm sure you'll find this forum entertaining and informative.

Hey Demetrios, I was born and raised in Cyprus and moved to NJ 16 years ago. I sold my R1150R last November and bought a 2006 K1200r in December but I still hung around here because this is a great forum.

Welcome Dimitris
don't worry, road conditions in Italy are not much better! Once you get acquainted to the front suspension and find the right adjustment it will be fine.

roads in Greece

Memories of great riding and no GS is needed, just install a bash plate. Nice dusty finish on your bike, reminds me of Patras at night, construction and some sort of potent Greek wine.
Send us more photos, please.
