I have one of these bikes as well. You described it perfectly! Agile light nimble tons of torque great on the twisties. I also have a large window screen and saddlebags for when I want to go even further. West Street Mike I have ever owned overall. Thank you for sharing your experience with us I really enjoyed the video
Thank you very much for your appreciation🙏! For me and my needs I believe that the solution of a naked bike that is shaft driven is the best, because of the feeling/control that you have is very direct. Maybe in the future I will try/buy the R1250R. I have tried the K1300R after the first 2 years of R1200R and after only 20minutes I came back to the BMW dealer crying for my lowend torque boxer. At that moment I realised (grew up), that power is not everything. Best regards!
Please make another video with this bike but maybe one where you show us around where you live maybe a cool coffee shop or something. Like a local travel show on your awesome BMW
About the gas gauge, i have the 2014 r 1200 r and they get rid of it for the 2013-2014 models maybe because it have never been reliable. Nice test. Awesome bike, need new shocks, original clutch at 97000km. It can do easy another 100k kilometers !
cred ca e un motor la care ajungi cand ai ceva experienta si iti dai seama ca pentru strada nu e vorba de hp ci de torque :) dar ingeneral isi pastreaza bine valoarea si e destul de scump.
Nice video. I want to buy this one too, but im 1,88m tall and im not sure if i will firt on it. I mean for long drives like in the alpes. Could you let us know how tall your are?
Thank you. I am 1.87m and my seat is modified at 900mm height so I can feel ok on the bike. The standard seat of 800mm height is very very small for us being over 1.85m.
@@GEONIC thx for the quick answer. Yeah i should probably do the same if i buy one(change seat high). If i want to change the seat do i have to go to bmw or can i just buy this bigger seat from the internet? if yes could you tell me from where you got your seat?
I'm on my 3rd 1200r
I love them.
Do remember to lubricate the drive spline. It's important. Trust me.

Beautiful bike--beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your video with us. I'd love to travel there....
Well done.

Thank you very much for your thoughts. I will do something like that once the outside temperatures will be motorcycle-friendly.🙏

@@athanasiose.9844 I modified my small 800mm original height BMW seat at a local craftsman/artisan for about 100e.
Bravo tie ca ai vorbit in limba engleză ca româna este greu de înțeles.
Multumesc. Este si in romana facut un video cu aceeasi motocicleta: th-cam.com/video/FlIeSRY0EZ8/w-d-xo.html
