Well the KTM 990 Adventure went a couple of weeks ago, very sad to see it go, but i wasnt riding it due to being too clean.
sounds funny that, purchased loads of new bikes in all weathers, but as that bike was nearly six yeats old, and so mint, i just felt guilty.
Anyway, got this yesterday.
Its as the title says, 2007 BMW K1200R Sport. Think they only made these for a year, i like the style and the colour.
One plus point, its got non servo abs. its not had too hard a life, it has been used, already done 18,000 miles, but it comes with a full spec of

abs
esa
h/grips
computer
sport wheels
clear indicator lens
centre stand
years tax
years mot
1 years bmw warranty.

begining to sound like an advert. sorry, cant stop myself :D
the bike is very planted, comfortable, stops, and boy does it go....

riding position

Nice .........Is the riding position the same as an R or the same as an S ?

would say its like any other K1200R. but you get quite a bit more protection.

I just happen to have a stainless steel Remus Powercone for one of those, sitting in my garage.....:augie
 
Lovely looking bike Nick

See it's fitted with pannier rails, did you get the panniers with it as well ?
 
Damn fine bikes - you can do everything with these

Nice bike :thumb

I wanted one of those but got an insurance quote which scared me :eek: so got a GS instead.

After two GS1200 both which broke down i bought K1300s now which is loverly and for some strange reason cheaper insurance. :confused:

Just watch the speed third gear make everthing go lightspeed ish :thumb

Great looking bike. :thumb2

I chopped my 1200GS in for a 1300R last September and I'm loving it.
Partly down to it being my first ever brand new bike but mostly because whenever I get off it I'm grinning like a loon! :D

Here it is when it was still shiny and new.
