K1200R anyone?
Hi all,
I'm interested in the K1200R for a possible replacement to the street triple next year, anyone tried one? I'm booked in a week sat for a test of the K1300R and 1200. |

Re: K1200R anyone?
I'd go and test ride one mate.
Its a Duolever front so has a distinctive feel, and you may find the extra 100cc too tempting

Re: K1200R anyone?
The engine is a peach, and as crashy McGee says, the front is a bit different. I like it, supple and soothing, and able to track really well.
