Just passed 40k on my R1200R and it's been flawless. It's a little lighter and a little quicker steering than the RS. I recently added a German Market Speed Pro exhaust. It saved about 10lbs,has a nice raspy sound, and smoothed power delivery especially at lower rpm.

The 2015+ 1200s have a "Bank Angle Sensor" that feeds info to the ABS and TC. As I remember reading about it, a "Bank Angle Sensor" is essentially a 2 axis IMU. Pretty advanced for 2015, and feels quite similar to the systems on my 2024 MT09 that has every electro-whiz-gadget.

It's showroom condition, 2700 miles (more now), and it already has all the hard to find Honda accessories. Lighter than the GW, with firmer suspension and a touch more lean angle.

Close to what? 🤔

So now I've owned motorcycles with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 cylinders. Might be time to start looking for a Boss Hoss.

Just got tires mounted on the new MT09. Decided to try the new Bridgestone T33 due to their lofty claims. I am seriously impressed with the handling and power delivery. The front suspension is fantastic, and it pulls out of corners like a freight train. I added a Puig Touring Screen and a T-Rex center stand. I'm considering adding a top box, but if I do it would be hard to justify keeping the BMW R1200R and after riding it for 40k I have little interest in parting with it.

👍 Fuck work

...and back ?

Both are faster and better handling

I watched a video that showed how to change the air filter, seemed pretty straight forward. It's not due until 24k (same as valves), so I have some time before I have to worry about it.

2 MT-09s weigh about the same as a Goldwing 🐖

After looking at many motorcycles that would be appropriate for retirement age...I made the mature decision and bought myself a new MT-09. It's light and the steering is really quick

Worst spring ever!

Just sat on one of these at a dealer. I could def live with one of those at a sporty tourer.

Didn't really want to but put the Triumph up for sale to make room for another. Marketplace - 2020 Triumph Street Twin | Facebook
