[QUOTE="Hotboot, post: 1299485, member: 395"] You will love that engine, when someone says "not FJR fast" it is a total different delivery of torque. You should experience a boxer at least once if you love motorcycle riding. The RT is too big IMO, BMW guys say it has lost the ST feeling and has gone soft. I did not test one when I had the chance. The R1200RS I bought is impressive, 520lbs. in a great chassis with that engine is a very satisfying ride so far. I like the precision feel of everything and the obvious build quality, the premium package has all the ESA goodies and Brembo stuff is always fantastic. I am faster and more confident on the RS than my very well sorted FJR, that was my favorite bike until now. The BMW brand is reliable now, 36K warranty and concierge owners support too. If it's Kool-Aid talking, I like the flavor so far. Keeping the FJR so don't kick me out. Life is short. Own many bikes. [/QUOTE]
