Hello from Canada

Hello,

I just bought a slightly used 2020 R1250RS. I'm getting back to sport touring after going to the cruiser world with a Kawasaki Vaquero for a few years.

My best bike previously was a 2014 Kawasaki Concours 1400 / GTR 1400 that I had purchased new. I traded that bike for a 2018 Vaquero because I thought that I wanted more comfort and less chances to lose my license. The Vaquero is a great cruiser and a wonderful bike, just not for me. I could never get really comfortable with the seating position even though it was a like a big slow cloud.

I fell in love with the R1250RS as soon as I pushed the start button. I had never been on a boxer before so the character was different than any inline or V I had ever owned. The first launch surprised me at just how quick it is, especially after docking my oil tanker of a Vaquero.

Anyway, I'm here to learn about this machine and share my experiences along the way.

Cheers,1.jpg

Welcome to the MOA Forum from a Londoner! :clap

I'm in Brantford. You probably recognize Mark from Wolf BMW then. I'm very pleased with them and can't wait to pick up my bike. Fingers crossed for Friday.

Everyone else, thanks for the welcome. I tend to be pretty active on forums (my inner nerd), so see you on the board!

Cheers!
