Hello from Central Texas

Hello. I just registered, proud owner of a new-to-me 2018 R1200RS. I also own a 2013 Yamaha Super Tenere and a 2008 KTM 450 EXC that I've motarded. I had a 2005 Yamaha FZ1 previous to the Tenere. I look forward to learning more about my new ride from the forum.

Welcome to the Forum and BMW R1200RS ownership. I am sure that you will find that it is a whole different beast from anything you own/ed thus far. From its unique boxer sound to its handling, including at slow speed, and great stability.

I do like the Super Tenere and the FZ1, the latter of which I test rode one day when it popped up in my radar as a possible second bike. The KTM I had to Google to see what it was:



Regarding the Forum - this is an offshoot of the website RSWasserboxer.com, which is dedicated to the R1200 / R1250 water-cooled BMW RS boxers. Readers are encouraged to contribute articles, DIY repair / maintenance projects, etc. I want both the website and the forum to be more technically focused when compared to other forums, but at the same time be a valuable one-stop resource for the bike. However casual reading and posting is fine too.

So again, welcome to the Forum.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new RS.
Are you in the Hill Country?
My wife and I ride the Hill Country area each April.

I'm in the Waco area, halfway between Dallas and Austin. We ride the northern hill country often but I suspect you mean the area that includes the sisters, Leakey, Camp Wood, etc. I usually make it down there a couple of times a year, once in the spring and again in the fall.

We get over there but we like the Boerne, Blanco, Llano and Fredericksburg area a little better because it's greener.
