Thanks Mojoe. Yes, I know I was dressed like a dweeb but I had a job interview in the afternoon so I sorta have an excuse. I even had to put my hair in a pony tail.

The insurance for the K1200S was $1131 CDN versus $993 for the Katana. The SV1000s wasn't any cheaper so I went with the 'fancy pants' bike.

[Mojoe]

oops....forgot to compliment the bike. I saw it with Chris at the bike show. It is sweet.

[omega0003]

Nice!

Nice bike. How are you feeling?

[squiggy]

Ooooo....very nice bike.

I've been considering a 2002+ BMW K1200RS two-tone for my next bike. I love the look of the Marakesh Red & Ice Blue paint job.

I did get a chance to sit on the new K-S model when it first came out. On the floor it felt comfy. Not that much different than the Kat's ridding position.

Two things I noticed though about the K-S model, the panniers are ugly and small IMO, and the CAN-bus would be interesting for those that like to add electrical accessories.
