I'm just rambling I know, but the K1200RS is now looking like quite a lot of bike and although prices are quite low, sales seem slow.
I've had three of these back in the noughties, they were all the very early ones & I had a fair few problems- one particular I remember is the fuel tank vents failing & the plastic tank semi-imploding - first noticed by reduced fuel capacity. I know the later ones had a few subtle improvements over the 1997-2000 bikes, including higher bars and a nicer top fairing design - but they came with servo brakes too, not my favourite feature.
Any thoughts on buying / running a later one, say 2001-2004 ? I'd not fancy doing a clutch job on one of these......
