New R1200s

I'm not one who likes sitting around. Even after I leave my career, I will still work somewhere. Perhaps back in a bike shop again?



You are correct health insurance is a major concern.

Well said, my man.

I understand what you're saying. I have an R1100S.



But old farts who go fast on the street but are done racing are also interested in bikes with real back seats. Bikes with hard luggage. Bikes with ABS.



The R1200S is a solo bike with apparently no hard bag setup, certainly not the system cases.



The R12S is really cool, don't get me wrong, and maybe there is enough interest out there. But I think that Ducati's ss1000 is sorta pitched to the same audience and Ducati is discontinuing it.
