Re: Replacing the R1200R with what bike

I am seriously looking at the 2014 Honda Valkyrie , having owned 2 from previous generation , I am familiar with them.
They are on sale for $10500 , with the 1800cc Goldwing motor , plus TTL , that's a steal

Re: Replacing the R1200R with what bike

It's been mentioned many times before how the bike feels every rock , pebble , bump .
The Tiger 1050 I rode 2 years ago has a very nice plush ride to it , but sits a little too high me what I want

Re: Windshields for 2015 R1200R

The reason I ask is because Parabellum is NOT making a fairing for the 2015 R , but they do need a 2015 in their shop to fit a windshield to it . http://parabellum.com/ They told me this . If you are in their area or want to make a trip to their shop for , maybe , a free or discounted shield for you...

Re: New R1200R!

Sort of like the step between the R1150R and the original R1200R, it is just better. Try one, you'll like it. Bill Interesting , my mechanic says it's about half that much better , maybe he is off by half . Anyway , thanks for the warning , I ain't gonna ride one cuzz I don't want to spend the money

How tall are you and the shield ?? I am 5'8'' and have a 20'' screen with this on it http://www.mra.de/en/x-creen I now have no more buffeting , helmet shake from air coming over the top .

Yes , very

BTW , Parabellum will not be making a fairing for the 2015 r1200r , because of the head light shape

Re: R1200R leg protectors to eliminate noise/buffeting

The Ztechnik Vstream came with mine , made turbulence worse , that is the most awful excuse for a wind screen

Now have a scout fairing

Re: R1200 Water Cooled

I am guessing that Parabellum Scout Fairing will not work on this model , for one thing , the head light is in a very different place than the previous ones

Re: 2015 R1200R

I just now emailed Parabellum asking if they are gonna offer a scout fairing for the 2015 R1200R. They probably don't know yet . My guess is , the head light is square and the hole is round in the fairing , they do not fit . They'd have to change the the headlight to square and I believe in 40 years...
