I haven’t blogged about bikes in awhile. I haven’t really thought about them
much, but I picked up a couple of bike magazines in Houston last week and realized
that the K1200R that I had been drooling over in the prototype stag are now out there
in the real world.
This bike is a thing of beauty. This is my next bike and given the price tag,
it’ll only be about 10 years. I thought I was in love with the 1200 GS, but
my Tiger will hold me if I had one of these.
