I used to have a 2000 K1200RS, and can highly recommend it. Smooth as glass, very fast, and handles way better than you'd think. At 628 lbs wet, it's a big barrel-chested beast. A little cumbersome in parking lots and tight twisties, but not bad. It has rock-solid stability in spades; it's like an electric freight train. Great on long trips and with a passenger. I switched to a 2002 R1100S and found it had more soul. I have its successor, the R1200S now. The boxer twin has a very endearing personality that goes along with the very tolerable vibe. The K1200RS is extremely capable, but comparatively sterile.
The only one who's going to know what works for you is you. You'll be lucky if you find what you really want on the first purchase, so if you get a good deal on something used, you can switch around. There's a lot of choices, and you should test ride some boxers as well. What's your budget?
