Hey yall
First post here, etc etc.. Loooooong term bimmer club owner and member, now looking to add a beamer to the garage.
To make 2up riding better for my wife and I, I have been looking at a bunch of local k1200s, including a 2000 model with 67k miles on it. While there is a ton I look for and know what to look for on the cars, I don't have that depth of knowledge on the bikes. I have ridden 12+ years, but japanese sport bikes. I am looking at a K1200 as a cheap way of getting into 2up in style, to see if we really like it and then buy bigger and better in a few years.
So.. in general.. what should I look out for? Any recalls or gotchas, anything specific to avoid?
Thanks!
