I think you can do some dealing on K bike prices. I've heard that they aren't selling as well as the twins. The resale isn't as good as on the twins either. They also have no soul, either. :badgrin:

I have to agree on the K bike sentiment. I bought one 6 months ago. A wonderful bike if you simply want to go really fast. But it just wasn't a "pleasant" bike to ride. The K12RS I had you couldn't even see the engine. When I look at my '07 R1200R and a picture of an R32 I can totally see the resemblance and feel somehow connected with something.

Additional thought for 818 if he hasn't pulled the trigger. Irv seaver in orange county has black former service loaners with 7100mi 07 R1200Rs for 11899 with ABS. I fell into the K-trap too and lost a ton of money getting myself out.

Mark, I think he may be disappointed by that.
