BMW R1200S Endurance Racer

Image

I was attracted to the K1200R-Sport as soon as I saw the first images. However, it took me longer than expected to finally be able to ride one. I've had a K12R-S for about a week now. Actually I hopped on a Cosmic Blue K12R-S after coming off a Flame Red F800S, after a 10 day review.
