Hello all!  I'm collecting a 2008 K1200S this weekend after a long and drawn out wait for the ABS pressure modulator to be refurbished (I'm not buying a 165bhp missile without fully working brakes, thank you very much!).  This will be my first remotely sporty bike, my first inline four (I've only had single cylinder bikes previously), my first "big" big bike, and my third bike overall.  It's a bit of a culture shock after a 48bhp BMW F650, but was time for a change.  I thought I'd end up getting a GS or an RT, but I saw this at my friendly local independent bike shop and fell in love.



Stunning, isn't she?   I've always liked the look of the K1200S, but I never imagined I'd own one...
