“The bike I had to try 4 other bikes before I settled.
This bike is a do it all charmer - there's nothing you couldn't ask this bike to do other than severe off roading.
It handles superbly on all road types and with the updated boxer twin engine it's a dream to ride.
The added bonus is that it's the lightest of the R1200 range (225kg) and so has the biggest power to weight ratio of them all
I'm just back from a 3 week tour of Holland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy
I did just over 2500 miles and the bike didn't miss a beat - from 130 mph blasts on the Autobahns to 10 mph round tight hairpins in the Alps - not a problem at any time.
Overall fuel economy for the trip - believe it or not 56 mpg with days ranging from 49mpg (Autobahns) to 66mpg (slow meandering in the Alps)
If you try this bike you'll fall in love with it - go on you know you want to!!”
