Hello all. New member (as of July) and newly relocated in Seattle from South Texas. I haven't made my BMW acquisition yet but have test driven the r1250RS and am pretty in love. I started looking at the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT, then came over to the r1250 RS and also looking pretty hard at the s1000xr as I'm 6'3" and having a more upright riding position would be a better for what I'm looking to do (distance riding, backroads, etc.). I also took a look at the Kawasaki GSX-S 1000GT+ this past weekend, and while a really good looking and compelling package, there are not a lot of those bikes available and the purchase pricing after the added fees seems a bit aggressive. I'm seeing quite a few used Gen 1 s1000xr bikes available and a few Gen 2s that I'm going to be looking at as well. Looking forward to machine acquisition and the adventures to come!
