HI All
I have been riding an 08 R12RT for the last 8 years, until approximately a month ago. I got T boned by a 99 Lumina on the way home from work. Bike is totaled but I am still walking around. Got the insurance settlement now and looking for a replacement. I am looking at an 06 K12GT that is in my price range but don't know much about the K bikes. I have heard the breaks might be different than what was on the RT. Can anyone elaborate on the breaking system for this bike. Also heard about the timing chain issues. Are there any other issues on the 06 k's I should look out for? I would sure like to get another BMW. I know they have there issues but I haven't owned anything that came close to my RT. Really miss that bike.
Thanks
