having sat on a K1200R, I'm not so sure I'd be going back to a twin. Since I have so much of a monetary investment in my R-S, it's easy to justify not selling, but if I already stepped up to a new-motored K, I'm not sure I could stand such a decrease in performance. That black K you had was sweet, dude.

I took the K1200S for a demo ride and as awesome, smooth and powerful it was I missed the twin's low end torque and feel. It seems the same way when I ride others GSXRs, R1s etc. All sweet rides but I've been conditioned to the twins whether Harley, BMW or Ducati. Even the Asian V-twins are more enjoyable than the 4s. That's just for me. I hope I can resist taking the R1200S for a demo ride when it's out cause I'm sure my life will feel incomplete without it.

Of what consists the VIP treatment? There will be the standists of the EICMA? Instead of your Minolta, would you consider to bring an italian with you?

Just recall how the first roll-out of the K1200S went like. I believe it was followed by several weeks of delay for the first shipments due to various defects.
. (but since the R motor has been around, same with telelever you prolly can't go wrong with a 1st year model)
