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.
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.
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.
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
