I recently bought this X reg (2000) , 28K miles K1200RS as I had always fancied trying one and had really liked the engine/gearbox in my K1200LT
It has the later model mirrors , bar risers and lower foot pegs so a more comfortable riding position
The ABS2 has been electrically disabled (relay and dash bulbs removed) and Goodridge braided lines fitted front and rear so brakes are fantastic . It came with a spare ABS unit which I may fit over the winter to reinstate the ABS
Excellent condition , with little if any corrosion , recent new tyres and MOT until Aug 2022 with no advisories , the build quality on this era of bike really is superb
Unfortunately after having ridden it for about 600 miles I'm undecided if I like it , its very quick , handles well , nothing at all wrong with the bike as such , I think I'm just too used to a more upright sitting position
I'll have a try at another few trips out on it and if I still can't gel with it I'll put it up for sale , so if anyone it on the look out for one let me know......
Last two pictures were taken today on a run out Kielder Castle and the observant will see I now have clear front indicator lenses to match the rear one's (and matching front foot pegs LOL)
