R1200r

My Mate Andy bought on from Dalkeith a couple of weeks ago... he's a shorty so suits him well for leg reach. GS owners will be familiar with this engine, I had a quick shot round the block earlier.. It's no slouch from take off, I guess it will run out of puff pretty quick but thinking good fun in the bends.

My pops has the 15 R1200R exclusive

It was the first bike he had with blipper and DDC, same for me. Made me test ride a RR

Engine has so much torque and is one of the lowest seat heights BMW sell. Around 785?mm stock. Sounds good with the stock can too

Your friend Andy has made a good choice

Also uses the cast s1000rr discs and has similar Brembo calipers but they only have two pads per caliper.

(However since using my RR he's now after a '17 XR- if it's low enough to gain some of the top end rush ..!)

Aye I think so too Westy...I had it round the block and it felt good tho a bit soft in the front end but im guessing he had it in couch mode .

The can does sound good. We looked at the calipers I think they are monobloc like my HP as there were no bolts or seam to be seen on the bodies... good choice for him.
