Have been a lurker for many years. At that time I had an R1100S and the K bike was all the buzz. Since the R1100S, I've acquired a gs, brutale, and the KR: all excellent rides, all perfect for different purposes. I commute daily across the bay bridge to work in SF where I'm a lawyer. My weekend rides alternate between the gs and kr. I've been riding since I was 16, approx. 40+ years ago. Following modifications to my kr: bar end mirrors; ktm handguards; custom seat; racing air filters (with left air box cut-out); Leo Vince slip-on; oversized windscreen; RG frame sliders.

Jamie, you must be talking about your fellow countryman and not a good looking Welshman like me.

Andrew :roll:

Okay a few embarrasments here....

1 - have not yet got the BMW...2 weeks eta....so no photos with it
2 - have wonderful pictures of last few bike trips to alaska, yukon, california & oregon...however the only pics i have are on a long defunct website which leads to 3
3- hopefully i can figure out how to post those at least to give an idea who i am
4 - other pics are on facebook which i dont think i can link here

maybe i will find a photo hosting website when i peel myself away from a forum!

by **andrew s** on Mon Feb 18, 2008 5:35 am

Great pic's freakhead, I take it the one with the T1000R was a time ago.

If you are looking for photo hosting, I use phtobucket and find it easy to use.

It wont be long now till your bike arrives.

Andrew :roll:

by **Freakhead** on Mon Feb 18, 2008 12:46 pm

I take it the one with the T1000R was a time ago.

Sadly time catches up...would that I could go back...that photo is almost 10 years old. Riding the beach on the north tip of Queen Charlotte Islands was about 6 years ago.

I will try and hit that photobucket soon, thanks!

Hello to every one,

This post seemed to be the right place to introduce myself to all fellow members of this forum

My name is Arnaud. I live in Paris, France.

Yes i know, another froggy around here :mrgreen:

I ride since 10 years now and i recently bought a 2007 K1200S :

And this is me (with my last motorcycle before the K12) :

Very pleased to find this forum, full of very helpfull tips and tricks... I didn't found the picture i was looking for though

See ya around mates

by **delirious** on Tue Feb 19, 2008 7:51 am

Hi Cybtech,

So you went from a ZZR1400 to a K1200S. May I ask what made you trade?

Nice black K1200S by the way.

Cheers,
Delirious.

by **andrew s** on Tue Feb 19, 2008 7:54 am

Welcome Arnaud,

No problem about being French and that comes from a Brit so can't be too bad.

Very nice bike and a good indorsement if you have come from a ZZR 1400.

What was the reason for the change?

Andrew :roll:

Well, thanks for the welcome

As for the ZZR1400, i never felt "at home" so to speak. And the ABS system is a real catastrofy (not sure about the seplling of this last word).

Along with other things, it wasn't as stable at speed as the ZX12R i use to have for a little more than 4 years. And i don't like to have to make modifications only to have the full potential of a motorcycle. Beside, the frame and the overall bike wasn't as good as it should or as you expect when paying this much.

In other words, i didn't liked it! If i had a second bike to buy it would be another ZX12R after 2002...

And, for the moment, i'm really happy i bought a K12S! I just have to derestrict it now. Bloody french 100ps law!!!

by **andrew s** on Tue Feb 19, 2008 11:48 am

Hi Arnaud,

Thanks for letting us know why you choose the K1200S over the ZZR1400. Most UK bike magazines like the K1200S and give the same reasons you have for your ownership.

I wouldn't worry about your spelling, I struggle and it is my language. I am embarrassed to say that your English is far better than my French and I have a house in your beautiful land.

cybtech, which picture were you looking for that you couldn't find?

Hi Shiva,

i'm just looking for a picture from above of what i could see if i just remove the tank of the K12S just to have an idea of what to expect as i want to remove the little thingy that prevent the full opening of the primary flies.

That's a part of the french restriction.

The second part (the software) will be done next week as i'll go in belgium.

I know, perhaps i didn't search enough but the forum is big...
