Hell HAS frozen over...

I talked to Chris Geuting a couple of days ago and he has sold (traded in) his R1100S in order to buy a 2009 R12R....

Now he owns an R12S and an R12R... it seems as though, he could not be happier...

Times are changing, it seems...

Yes. He's actually a pretty funny guy if you get to know him.

yeah right...i do like the way the R12R looks, and I like the tank shape, but the S is a better bike all the way around, unless of course you want to ride around with someone on the back, which I don't.

And - of course - you chose to not understand ANYTHING...

The R12R is the new gig FOR CHRIS...

It would look real cool with a GP type exhaust can. Can someone photoshop an example on to a left side shot of Bob's 12R. Bob, I don't think you've posted such a shot as of this date. I know it would not allow the oem bags.
