I took my mate to Chester Motorrad today to look at bikes, he's a total novice rider but he's nearly 50 and has been driving for more than 30 years, currently doing 35k ish a year on average, so he's not exactly green. He sat on a few bikes, and the two he liked best were the R1200R and the S1000XR - he's not short of cash, so it's not a budget issue, he can get whatever he wants really.
So, what is the 1200R like to live with, does it have any foibles or faults, and how are they to ride for a few hours at a time. I'm hoping to get him through a test so we can get out and get some miles under him, as we're planning a joint 50th birthday trip over to the US in 2019!
Lets hear what you've got to say!!
Cheers!
