Re: New BMW R1200RS
It looks like a blue & white 1050 Tiger with a Beemer lump shoehorned into it!
I'm with Blade on this one, you lot should have gone to Specsavers.

Re: New BMW R1200RS
Sorry can't see the connection myself its like comparing an r1 to a fazer 1000 as they share some compoments.
Not my cup of tea but each to there own and obviously I was only joking in earlier posts.

Don't worry, I'm in your corner. I don't like that bike and it certainly is nothing like the iconic Beemer.

Re: New BMW R1200RS
Styling and engine wise there are quite a few similarities.
What i want from biking has changed in the last few years.
I am quite fit for my age apparently but even so there is no stopping advancing years and the toll it starts to take on you physically.

Re: New BMW R1200RS
I agree about the age thing. I reckon I've got a handful of years left on a sportsbike.

Re: New BMW R1200RS
Its good that you don't need a sportsbike for sportsbike-like performance these days.
I love being able to take the 748 for a few hours but not sure i could cope with a whole weekend on it anymore.
The only ache i had from riding the Multi in 50 hours a few weeks ago was from the wrist i broke at Mallory and that was only when i was having to work it hard in the twisty sections.
