I find this thread very funny. My friend Roy was going to trade his RT in for the new model. Roy & his missus do a lot of touring on the RT.
He came back from the show room with the K1200s, a pure impulse purchase.
Julia went out for a ride on the K and said you are on you own there mate, I am not getting on tha t bloody bike again !
Roy is now trading in his prized Boxer cup for a 1200 GS so Julia will have something suitable for touring !
