Really great modern video with great notes. I love this bike. It may have pushed me over the edge. I have a low mileage one here same year meticulous condition for $8000 USD.... insane price and value compared to any new or used bike out there.
@@DarkRiderMotovlogs Mountain of torque, 125hp, BEEFY front forks. IDK it doesn't look old mannish to me, but maybe I am getting old too at 36. Honestly, I know the electronics are pretty modern on it, but that's a lot of bike for me as a returning rider. It's my only reservation. I kinda wanna start back on an SV650 and run the wheels off that for a while too.
@@drewmorg. Also ood points. TBH the R1200 is really easy to ride and the power delivery is smooth and linear. Not really intimidating at all. Just pulls nicely all the way up. The ride modes will let you get used to it as you grow with the bike. SV650 is also such a great machine. Really easy to embarrass the big bikes on a SV ;)

They are really under rated bikes in my opinion. Bit of an "Old man's" bike but they are bloody awesome. If you can pick one up you really should.

It's a really nice bike! Did you buy it or prefer something else?
It is great! I ended up buying a S1000XR :)
Helshoogte?
Yup that's correct!
