Hello again...
« on: October 14, 2021, 09:22:29 pm »
I'm back to a K!  :)

Previously had a K1300R for 4 years (2014-18), took a sabbatical to an S1000R (great fun but always left me aching) and recently got a K1300S to slake the thirst for the K engine.

I just needed that smooth power back in my life!

Hi Joel and welcome back to the madhouse that is EuroKClub!

It's a global phenomenon, ex-members rushing back to join us once more. I think we should put the rejoin fee up  :D

Thanks - only had a couple of short rides so far, definitely seems to be geared a little longer, than the R but it's definitely a K!

Has my X/R on the way to 5 years, always makes an interesting comparison to the K, although still astonished that when the K stuck in 6th gear, rode from Shobdon airfield back to Birmingham, via Kidderminster center two up te boot 😳
