Building a Proper Stable

I finally convinced Beth to let me buy another motorcycle.  It was surprisingly easy actually.  I waited patiently several years and decided I didn't need anything *new*.  That helped tremendously.  Ive had my eye on a BMW of some type for a while and came across a deal on Craig's List that I had to check out.  A 2004 K1200GT with less than 12k miles!  The owner of this one bought a newer version of the same bike (2008) and pretty much relegated this one to collect dust.

I was always eyeing the RT1200RT since it pretty much is the quintessential sport-touring machine. Never really gave the K's any thought, especially the older 1200's or 1300's.  All it took was a short time with this K for me to totally change my mind on them.  For starters, this bike is immaculate.  garage kept, hardly ridden, and equipped with several key upgrades that make it even better (bar back kit, peg lowering kit, PIAA aux lights, and Givi Top Box).  Not to mention what comes stock on these machines (electronic cruise control, heated grips and seat, side cases, power windscreen adjustment, and a monster inline 4-cyl engine with 130 bhp and LOTS of torque).

Have had it for ~6 weeks now and love it more an more every day.  Have done (2) 150 mile rides so far, including a recent trip to Lowman and back.  This bike is a miles eater and is a great mix of power and comfort.  Looking forward to putting another 50k miles on it!
