Well, I got a reasonable offer from my dealer. And I have made the decision to let the Red R1200R make it's way to a new owner. Tough choice! I had the R out on one of my favorite backroads last week and it really feels "right" for me. But, I can always hunt down another if I can't live without an R. Except I doubt another red one will come my way. Love that red! I do have to get the system cases re-keyed for my new bike/key. It's nice that the luggage gride is the same as the 2018 bikes. I got them by way of an Accessories Incentive, so I am glad to be able to keep them. Plain gray, but will be fine on the White bike.
I've also been riding my Duke690 a bit more, and I have to say, it's a great backroads blaster, 315lbs, 70HP and gobs of One-Lung Torque. Finally my Bonneville is a reliable town bike, and already has a bit of rash to prove it.
I may do some serious modding to the Bonneville, I picked it up about 10 years back for 2500 so making it more like a "cafe" bike might be fun. Plenty of Aftermarket stuff out there.
I am thinking about a new paint scheme, too. British Racing Green with polished stainless front fender, and stripes.
My RS "might be in L.A." according to the dealer, but no one knows for sure.....
