I'm a total newbie not only to Bmrs but to motorbikes altogether.
In spite of that, I'm head over heels about my new r1200r. I don't think I ever liked anything this much.
I just got it a week ago after 3 very long months of wait after I ordered it. In the mean time a good friend was kind enough to let me use his brand new GS650 which taught me the ropes of gear shifting. I come from 6 months on a Vespa 300 which got me hooked to bikes. You will notice the bling bits I coudn't resist to add.
