Check out my new bike.

[Rick Lee]

What a machine. It's mine now. This is an old photo, but I'll have more soon.



Went to pick her up in Flagstaff today and had a very nice ride home through Sedona and then did some silly highway speeds on I-17. I'm gonna get into trouble with this thing. It's scary fast. Can't wait to do some more riding tomorrow.

so, it stays in the pelican family.


congratulations.

[slodave]

Looks nice, but I'd ditch the training wheels.

No off-roading!

[Gogar]

Wow.

[nostatic]

Congrats. Keep the rubber side down on that - it ain't going to be as user friendly as the GS. Sweet bike though. I wish my back and knees could handle that riding position.

Hell, right now my back won't handle the GS even

[Rick Lee]

Not my bike, but identical except I have a Remus exhaust. These are very sexy.

[JavaBrewer]

Very nice Rick.

For reasons I cannot explain the bike drive has left my body for the time being. Perhaps it's the lack of slush time and money... When the drive returns I would give that bike a hard look (but probably go back to a Triumph triple)

[MMARSH]

Nice Bike. I was real close to buying a candycane R/S a little while ago. I really like those bikes. It you think those are scary fast, better stay off the new K bikes though

[Zef]

Wow...it's a piece of art...Very nice set up.

[Dottore]

Very nice!

Ride safely.

Yes, I test rode a K1300S a few weeks ago, but was afraid to really push it. I think this bike is way sexier. The new K1300's only come in lava orange, light silver and that magma two tone. And with the insane depreciaton the K1200's are taking, I couldn't bring myselt to drop $18k for a K1300. Boxer engines run in my blood.

[Jeff Higgins]

Sweet.

[HardDrive]

"R/S with Remus cans......."

[Rick Lee]

Just got her cleaned up a bit.

[DonDavis]

That's dead sexy, right there!
Hoot hoot!!

[krichard]

is it running lean? The pipes are pretty blue, or is that normal for those bikes? Sweet bike, have fun and be safe!

[Rick Lee]

My fuel light just came on at 129 miles, so if anything, it's running rich.

[Noah930]

Congrats. That's a gorgeous ride. Stay safe.

With a heavy enough right hand, 129 miles to reserve and you could still be lean!

[nostatic]

Funny plates. What is German for "hex"?

My back hurts just looking at it. I love that bike though - it makes the 1100S look portly and stodgy.

No offense to 1100S owners

Nope - Just a trait of the single walled pipe. Most Japanese bikes run double wall pipes, so many aren't used to this look.
