No, but in a moment of weakness I almost bought a 2014 Honda Valkyrie because of that 1800cc flat 6. This BMW suits me perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 I've wanted an R1200R since BMW ditched the telelever front suspension and the boxer became water cooled in 2015. They have real sport capability and is a legitimate cross country tourer. The passenger accommodations are pretty good too, which is the only real reason I bought stupid cruisers in the first place. This one has everything that I would have picked and more...

Uncle Punk Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 I you were BMW curious you should have rode mine this past summer. Paulie hated it but I kinda like it. It's not perfect but it does what I ask it to do. If they would put my bikes engine in Paulies bike with all of the wind protection his has I think I would have my perfect bike.

Pauly Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 It's "Pauly" you Funcling Punk. I love the boxer. I never would have imagined it, but it is a great street bike. It might be the nicest bike I have ridden. It isn't Hyperstrada fast, but it can give it a good chase. It feels as light as the Hyper, though. The boxer engine is the main reason it handles so well. You can keep your race engine. I found another Eurotractor to keep me occupied for now. I think Tony's bike will surprise him. It will hustle if he can get comfortable with it. I got used to the GS quickly. I have ridden just over 1k miles and am already quite familiar and at ease with it. I am also one cool ass motherfucker, so that may have something to do with it.

The R1200R is the only one that checked all my boxes. The R1200RT also got some consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I burn off these Metzelers, I'm going to put on some Conti Trail Attack 3 (90/10) tires, that are suitable for gravel roads but not dirt.

Okay Paulie don't get your panties in a twist. The KTM Super Adventure is just as fast as my bike but it doesn't have enough cylinders so I find it nearly impossible to ride plus it doesn't have the wind protection the your bike has. 3 hours ago, Tpoppa said: Your bike has too many cylinders.

I could see you liking the RT but just for the same amount of time you are going to like the R. I could own a RT if I did any amount of two up riding. She only rode with me one time last year and that was just a trick to get me to go to a dog show where one of her friends was showing for the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, this BMW Roadster is the best of breed #nodogshow And twin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's lightweight with excellent manners in a slightly under powered package. ...But...it also has enough power to pass on the highway, and did really well on 1400 mile 3 day trip.

Wojo72 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 This would be me on a grom but I still smile when I see them at IP. The Monkey reminds me of the beater Trail 70s that a friend had when I was a kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja 400 is not equivalent to a Grom. Ninja is a real bike, Grom is a toy. That said I still want a Grom or Z125 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
