Sweet ride con pilot, I love the two-tone paint scheme


The blue & silver one is mine if that was the one you were referring to.  Smile

I've never seen a BMW R1200ST before. Not a fan of the boxer engine, but very pretty, purposeful bike.  I like it. Hope you enjoy it.

I like the blue & silver paint scheme!  Thumbsup All of the ones I've seen in person or picture have been red & black. I looked at one in Grand Rapids when I was shopping for a R1200RT but ended up buying a K1600GT. Congratulations on the purchase & nice comparison write up! Cheers

No I did not, but the guy in the middle of that picture is Carl, a good friend of mine and the person who bought my Ducati to keep his 3 BMW's company.  Bigsmile

Howdy ho,

ok, now I remeber...

I'm the dude that slid out on gravel on the right hander. That low sider finally slowed me down and helped me to remake my FZ into a naked bike.  I haven't ridden that aggressively since. I also changed jobs and became a Mon-Fri 8-4 worker which ended up cutting back on my riding too.

The bike I wrecked Labor day when the cage pulled a left turn in front of me was my Kawasaki Mean Streak, which was going to be sold next spring anyway with the intention to buy a R1200RT.

I'm assuming my leg and knee will be OK by April or so.

I think I met that Carl dude at the Bills Bike Barn thingy myself.

If I remember correctly he had a screaming yellow R1100S or something like that.
