runeo, I see that you got rid of a F800S for the R1200R. Obviously you like the R1200R, but what were your impresssions of the F800S?

I am not far from you, and attended the River City Track event at Thunder Hill this year. I purchased my K75s from a guy in Sac.

A little more about myself and how I ride. Got back into riding recently after about 30 years, used to ride dirt and always wanted to get back into it. Now in my 40's and living in a more rural area I convinced my wife. I have liked the look of this bike since it first came out. We have 2 BMW cars, ...

Asking for Advice on Getting a New Bike

I am a fairly new rider with about 2k mile riden. The K75s is my first bike, and am wanting to get something newer, and lighter if possible. One bike I recently started looking at is the R1150 line.
