Truck is down for repairs. Lincoln is down for repairs. ZRX has a flat tire. RT has a flat tire. Day 3 of RS commuting to/from work in the rain has been a treat. My commute time is considerably shorter for some reason.

I think everyone is referring to how ugly your foot skeleton looks up close. #notfappable

Strange things are afoot...

It is if I put an espresso pod in it. 😆

No, thanks. I have the uglier, slightly less cool, F650GS model... and it's paid for!!

You laugh, but I will only drink that espresso if the press was made from an old Boxer engine. I like my espresso w/ a little extra sludge.

I agree on the analog tachometer. The R shares its dash with the RS. The RT has analog speedo and tach. I also agree about short-shifting. I don't run more the 6-7k when I am really pushing my pace. It's not necessary, and the 1250 is even better. It's faster and more refined at the same time. The power delivery surprised me on Sunday's ride. I think BMW did a great job with this engine. I didn't care for the dash on the 1200, but I never really looked at it when riding other than a quick speed check coming into a town or neighborhood. I try to be respectful to the locals as long as they're not in front of me in a car. The exhaust is a SC Project in titanium and it is not quiet. Louder than the Akrapovic I had on my black 1200. The engine guards are BMW. These were installed when I bought it. I have only installed the windscreen and handlebar. All else is from the previous owner. I think the 1200 engine spoilers are better looking than what I have, but all the other upgrades outshine that preference. The TFT is awesome, updated front end w/ LED headlights, auto-preload/sag adjustment so Jim can shut the fuck up about it already, ABS Pro, better quick shifter compared to pre-2017 boxers, and the engine is night and day. The 1200 isn't slow by any means, but the 1250 is really impressive for a boxer. I thought I could live with just the RT, but I'm excited to be back on the RS. The RT is great in the corners, but lacks that something extra it needs to be exciting. Both scratch the itch, but the RS is the better time. Especially this generation RS. I now know that if I had to live with one bike, it would be the RS and Amanda would be retired from pillion.

I feel like I've been here before... Touring windscreen and handlebar upgrade. Now she's ready to hustle.

Found in the break room at a customer facility.

Picked up yesterday. Rode 464 miles today. Dipped her wheels in WV twisties, so now she needs a bath and a tetanus shot.

Doubtful. Wanna buy it?

Close. I sold the slightly-less capable R1200RS and have purchased a R1250RS. Notable differences: TFT dash w/ Connectivity, Ride Modes PRO, Cornering ABS, smoother quick shifter, moar HP/torque. @Bubba was right and I knew it all along.

Four, but who’s counting? Not YouTube.
