Nice bike - but unless you want to spend significantly more time off road than on - for the money - buy a Triumph Tiger.

They all look like that...

I dont think that is as ugly as the R1200ST.....

My advice is give yerself seven uppercuts and give it back.
You know what sort of twisted individuals ride GS's, so ask yerself "do I wanna be like the Editor"...I think you know the answer.

Mostly harmless.

1923 Douglas barnett - were you a two wheels reader? - That was a long running gag with them.

Saw one of them at head office last week, they're not the prettiest bikes around, that's for sure. The K1200R's a nice piece of kit though, love to take one for a ride, need to get my full before they'll let me though

I agree - Mackay and Eisdale have been working through testing the BMW range. For me 30 large and over is the worry with them. That's why i favour the Tigger. You could buy a new one - power commander, race can, spare set of motard wheels, luggage and it's still a few grand cheaper than the BM.
The BM is superior off road - a horned up tiger would smoke it on the tarmac. Priorities and budget.
