Folks...
I'm in the market for a 2008-2012 R1200RT.
Any opinions on what should be looking/checking for when considering a purchase?

Any year in particular stand out???
Problem areas?

I'd appreciate any comments

There are a number of them for sale here in the marketplace. I would trust a used bike from a MOA member more than from someplace like Craigslist! The Hexheads are simpler to maintain than the cam heads but it is only a minor difference. I would buy the newest model you can afford, and ask to see the maintenance history. In general, they are good bikes.
