Hello from the UK - winteramw - 11-06-2019
High all.
I pick my R 1250RS on Saturday. Its wet damp and cool/cold here so I am hoping for a dry weekend to get a few miles on it. I test rode this bike and it seemed ideal for me. My last few bikes have been an Indian Roadmaster, a Kawasaki ZZR 1400, a Suzuki M1800r Boulevard and a Suzuki B-King. I could go on. I am hoping this time I have found the bike that suits me as various issues with all of these eventually forced me to change. Actually the bike I regret getting rid of the most was a Honda CB1300SA. The half faired version. Apart from being a 4 rather than a twin there are quite a lot of similarities, although technology has progressed a lot since.
It will be great reading about owners outside the UK and your challenges and best experiences. Thanks Andy
