magley64 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 r is naked, s has a fairing similar to my XX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 S for sure then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 both are sweet options, i like how rugged and "mad max" the R looks, but I prefer the refinement and wind tunnel tested fairings of the S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 usually i like faired bikes more than naked, but in this case, the R is much better looking.....the S looks bulky and ugly..and its very plain looking...the fairing on it actually remind me of a scooter instead of a sport bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCinci Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I rode the K1200R back when there was a BMW dealer in Cinci. They allowed demo rides on all of their bikes. Handed me the keys and said 'just bring it back sometime today. If you need gas, fill it up and bring us the receipt and we'll cover it" My impressions (I owned an FZ1 at the time)...very smooth and powerful but felt heavy to me. Because of the way the suspension is, I never felt like the front wheel was in jeopardy of coming off the ground so never really got that oh shit feeling I got on the FZ1 when I rolled on hard at lower gears.Here's a 1200 in AZ http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=796287 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creep Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 BMW USA didn't import the K1300R to the states. When BMW increased the engine size, they quit selling the K1200R here. You would need to settle for a used 1200, or look for a K1300S and convert it to R trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never own another bike covered in plastic. Too much of a PITA to service, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why I don't know.Because the squids don't think naked bikes are cool?The bike I really want BMW to make is the lo rider:http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-lo-rider-concept-renderings/1164221/#photo-1164214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much of a PITA to service, etc.I think they're doing better now, tbh.What you have is just a surplus of squiddiddly people cracking up little 600 supersports, which are easily made into streetfighters... cheaper to go that route for the naked bike role.

creep Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Lo rider looks killer. Cafe all day kind of look.Yeah, I'm really interested in what the final product will be. Based upon the spy shots, there is speculation that the engine may be liquid cooled... like the new GS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelstoker Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Lo rider looks killer. Cafe all day kind of look.Talk about one seriously slow train in coming. I am also interested to see what BMW releases with the Lo-Rider concept. The images they put out, 6 years ago now???, sure piqued my interest.Norton 916, new motor in the Guzzi V7, a Ducati 799 or BMW S600RR are the stuff dreams and ex-husbands are made of.
