How Many Dollars? It is a bit tupperware-ish in appearance, but my God what a ride.

Skillet,
If it's a powerful, yet nimble long-distance tourer you are looking for, you can't go wrong with that.
It also looks much better close up.

It sure does. I took a good look and sat on one a month or two ago. It is sweeeeet. The one I looked at had that huge tupperware trunk too. A travelin' machine, for sure.

You may have also noticed that the windshield in the picture above is much taller and wider than the original (which also looks much better).
The one above looks like a Cee-Baileys aftermarket unit.

I looked at a 2007 R1200-R (Twin Roadster, stripped) the other day & it was $14K+ !!!! The R1200-RT is upwards to $18K now !!

I got to test ride one of the K1200R bikes the other week... Um... Er...
WOW.
Factory says 163HP on tap.
Reminded me why I'm not allowed to have nice sportbikes; it'll do 100mph in 3rd gear out of 6. And she's smooth as can be. Just linear power.

I'm clicking, I'm clicking, nothing happens. One of our riding buddies has a K-bike, 130,000 miles. Never adjusted valves or anything.

If I had the money and was going to get a touring bike. BMW K1200GT would be my pick. I sat on the K1200LT and it was nice but I liked the GT because it was a little sportier and didn't have that Goldwing look to the bike.
