I did an airfield day back in September and there was a guy there on the R1200RT, and he was QUICK. Bolt upright, with panniers, but often outbraked me and kept up with me on my 600RR in corners. They are pretty special bikes as far as I can tell. |
I been riding 2 years on 125, daily. I know it's a heavy bike, but I'm also certain it is a bike for me. I know I will have to adjust to its weight, I am willing to spend time before opening throttle wider.
I really don't want 600cc, not because of power/speed, but because of size. I want a BIG bike, comfortable seat, and enough room to EVENTUALLY mount a dog cage instead of pillion seat. This bike fits the bill perfectly. ____________________ Sincerely, WiseB34R . |

Not sure if serious...
Go buy your big bmw, but leave the dog out of it. Come back after riding it a few months and let us know how you get on. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 3 years, 134 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
