For your wife's comfort don't hesitate to call up Jerry and order a Stealth Backrest for your RS. Its about a 45 min install for the mounting plate but once on, the backrest can be removed or replaced in a matter of seconds with only one screw. Beats the hell out of a $900 corbin option, well unless you really hate the stock seat. See what you think, or what your wife thinks.

Well, I'm in the market for a sport tourer to replace my aged but nobel ST 1100 and was thinking BMW-wise until the butthead Gerhart Shroeder who leads Germany started calling our President names, the jerk. It'll be a cold day in hell before I spend any of my money on German or French products. I call for a boycott.

I thought those videos were great.

Keep them coming.

I own a 98 K12 with only 8000 miles on it. Some vibration exists between 4300 and 5000 but eslewhere it is so smooth, I can't tell what gear I'm in. I have never had to add oil on the 2000 mile trips I have taken as there is no appearent burn at all. Tight twisties, not the deal. Open road twisties at speed, long big mile days in the mountains and high plains, there is no better tool.
