My first Beemer was the R1150R, pretty much the same as the R1200R. It was a great bike. But I needed the factory tall seat for it. I'm 6'1". If I were to get an R1200R, I'd immediately make the headlight an HID, put some plastic over the headlight, do something about that hideous windscreen, maybe add some crashbars, convert the turn signals to LED and throw on some Ohlins shocks. Those bikes depreciate like rocks, so you can find a barely used one for a huge discount off the new price.
