I've been buying and restoring junk motorbikes for a few years and finally backed myself into a corner with a bike I don't wanna sell, an ex cop bike, BMW R1200RT. It's the bees knees on a long distance hiway run but it is heavy and a bit of a pig in traffic without the flashing lights.
I test rode one of the new gen BMW KBikes this week.
These things are absolutely amazing. The handle bars are isolated from the steering, (aka front axle), by a set of pivoting link arms. So you can hit a bump and the single front computer controlled shock sucks it up before it hits the bars. Everything is smooth as silk. They produce 165HP and there is a utube of one doing 295K/Hr down an autobahn so loads of go juice.
I'm hooked. The one I rode was an S model so you lie on the tank. Going to ride an R model this week end. See pic.
Feels like xmas
