Firstly, big thanks and kudos to the salvage team, led by Brian, who provided the lifeboat and now the replacement ship. Those of us who jumped aboard the Facebook page will know just how much effort these guys expended to try to keep this nonsense afloat.
I'm Steve, another refugee from the previous EuroKClub, and the owner of a Cosmic Blue K1200R Sport with 38k on the clock. The bike is currently SORN'd because I had, until recently, a winter bike to protect the beast from road salt. However, it will be back on the road on 1st March. Apart from Givi luggage that I fitted to replace the BMW Sports Cases and a Stebel horn, it's pretty standard.I did have a Remus silencer fitted for a while but I prefer the more discreet standard can when I'm disturbing the tranquility of the countryside.
This year, I hope to pile a few more miles on, including a trip to Europe. I do confess to casting lustful glances at the K1300S but the R Sport ticks so many boxes for me that I can't bring myself to take the plunge.
Like a few others on here, I do my own servicing and repairs so forums like this are a great source of information about other folks' experiences. I'm looking forward to seeing, and hopefully helping this site develop into the preferred on-line community for K riders this side of the big pond who want to discuss problems and talk nonsense. Just like we did before!
