After owning my R1200r lc for a few months I'm really pleased with it, (Can't believe I've covered over 6000 miles in that time, lol). What I've discovered is the "R" is perhaps the most versatile of the new breed
of LC twins from the mothership.
Using it in the state in which I bought it, it is a great naked bike for the summer/warmer months and with the new addition of the National Cycle Z-Technik Stream screen I now also have a bike which I can use
in virtually any weather, particularly if I want to cover longer distances with more protection from the wind and a huge reduction at high speed of the dreaded wind noise. I use the BMW sport seat which is the highest option, so it's proved I need to add a couple of inches to my new
screen. This I've done with the addition of the Touratech screen spoiler(part No; 0440752), using this means I can travel with virtually no disturbance from wind noise and absolutely zero buffeting at and up to the bikes top speed!
I've included a photo for those interested, I can return the bike to naked mode in under five minutes, literally!
I would say to those who think the "R" is no good for long distance touring, perhaps you should think again knowing this option is available.
cheers
Tony
