They were originally on the demo fleet this year. It is BMW's corporate policy to share the crack with the public... give them a taste and you'll HAVE them.

Tommy, I think you'd like the RT more than the GT. The brick motor has holy engine braking.

K1200LT
S1000RR

There are more than one of a few of those, including the S1000RR. If you get there too late to sign up, just wait for me to get back from whatever demo I'm on - I'll make sure you get to ride some of the toys.

Plenty of touring choices, very nice. I wouldnt mind some seat time on the s1000 but wont loose any sleep if I dont get it. I do want to try the K1300gt and the r1200rt, and maybe go all out on the K1200LT just to ride a full on touring bike.

Now just to make more room in the garage

They've changed the motor on the 1200RT - it's now angry. I ride the R1200RTP all weekend... it's dreamy. My only complaint is there are too many buttons I threw on the sirens on a ride in Long Beach and didn't know how to turn them off. Good times.

The LT is just a tank - it has reverse and the automated center stand. The GT is the 1300 inline four. All of them are a different ride - the RT is my favorite, but then, it's the smallest and most nimble of the three.

Nope.

i think either the 1300gt or the 1200rt would make adequate eventual repacements for the aprilia. Curious to see how they ride and see the differences side by side.

How many miles have you done at a time on that Priller?

I rode it home from the rally/gap last year. that was my longest ride on it. I have also done numerous 400 plus mile days on it from twisty rides to slabbing/touring.
