Hi, and thank you.
Not my first boxer by a long shot. I still have an '84 R100S that I will keep no matter what. I've been riding for 59 years and have owned too many bikes to count. I've spent the last few years on Triumphs mainly but the 1250RS just speaks to me. I don't ride dirt anymore so don't really need that now. I hope I can adjust the new bike to fit me, it will be here in about a week so time will tell. My two big concerns are how far forward I sit, and does it feel cramped. After coming from the 1200 Triumph Explorer, I hope I can adapt, I think so, I'm only 5'10".
I'm looking forward to getting used to a "street" bike again, should be fun!
