Posted March 12, 201510 yr Picked it up this afternoon, got to put on 130 miles, enough to know this bike is just what I was looking for. The R1200R probably won't be getting much attention from here on out. Not much room for my wife to ride along, the mirrors could be a bit further out and the turn signals don't fit the look of the bike to me. It really feels light, goes around corners so sweet, has a nice thrum and the power (I'm still on break-in) is really more than I expected. At this price.....what a winner!
March 12, 201510 yr Welcome and congrats! And the turn signals, aka the melons, have been an overall odd end to many on the site. But you're in luck since there are a few options to switch them out if you're interested. Instagram: @meekmade | You don't need to flat foot a bike to ride it.
March 13, 201510 yr The pumpkin turn signals are goofy....but, they are excellent signals. I can't seem to part with mine, or my rear fender... O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me. My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause...till it come back to me.
March 13, 201510 yr Welcome. I'm sure the bike is a hoot compared to an R1200R. P1: Vice? I have no vice, I'm as pure as the driven snow! P2: Yeah but you've been drifting All the gear all the time!

March 14, 201510 yr Global Moderator Thank you for joining @pauljr. You have made an excellent bike choice !
March 14, 201510 yr Welcome! I've had mine since early Feb, and I thought I could live with the melons, but just ordered some small LED signals yesterday. There are lots of people who have replaced them, and it doesn't seem like that bad of a swap (although, I haven't done it myself, but will be soon). Nice bike choice! You are gonna love it with, or without the melons! Why can't left turners see us?
