[QUOTE="Penforhire, post: 48571, member: 193"] Not really. My buddy's K-RS spent plenty of time in the shop for warranty work, as did my 2001 R1200C. Guess what? My FJR has zero warranty work (knocks on wood)! My time is worth money and the BMW is NOT worth its price. Oh, and I like having TWO usable saddle bags. Yep, I'd consider a K-GT if it was LESS expensive than the FJR. How can you possibly think it is worth MORE than the FJR? Better performance (by any moving measure)? No. Longer range? No. More storage? No. More reliable? Absolutely not. So what imaginary BMW virtues are you thinking of? I'll give you two. The K-RS fairing doesn't block as much air but its air stream is smoother/quieter than the FJR's. The K-RS doesn't let as much heat reach the rider (but still has some). BFD, wear some riding pants and you won't feel the heat on either. edit -- didn't catch that you were talking about the new K. So now you're asking me to compare vaporware to the bike I'm actually riding for the past year? [/QUOTE]
