This is my BMW R1200R Sport registered in 2017 that I have owned since April 2021.
On purchase the ODO read 15,077 miles and at the time of writing I have reached just over 41,500 miles. As you can see I use my bike for touring, the above photo was taken on the shore of Beauly Firth heading out to start the NC500, and with the addition of a touring screen it handles this with aplomb.
What else have I added to my bike?
- SW Motech Street Rack
- SW Motech Pro Tank Ring
- OE BMW R1200GS Hand Guards (from eBay)
- Wunderlich Bar Risers 25mm closer
- MachineArt X-Heads
- Cool Cover Front Seat Cover
- Wunderlich Frame Bung Set
- Dunlop Road Smart IV Tyres
- BMW Motorrad Connected Ride Phone Cradle
- Side Stand Extension Enlarger Pad
Is there anything I would change?
The only thing I would change is the overall weight of my bike. If I could shed 20Kg from the gross weight it would be perfect but as things stand it is almost perfect. It has more than enough power for my needs, it’s comfortable especially with the addition of the bar risers, I can load it up with as little or as much luggage as I need for trips and I absolutely love the way the engine pulls from low revs.
