[QUOTE="ELP_JC, post: 279238, member: 6177"] Just a quick comment. As an '03 K1200RS owner for 5 years, I can tell you my '07 FJR is basically identical to the KRS ergonomically speaking, in case you were wondering. And yes, you have to be in some sort of shape to ride any sport/sport-touring bike any distance; one more reason to hit the gym. If you have a big belly, you won't be able to bend at the hips on such bikes, since your belly would hit the tank... and scratch it < he he>. Bending at the hips keeps your back basically straight, and helps to keep your shoulders in the right position (aligned with your back, not forward). And yes, even after 5 years, sometimes I need to remind myself of that... or shoulder pain does. As a final comment, after adopting the MYRP, I could ride longer on the BMW than the GL1800. But try one at a dealership, and the Wing feels more comfortable hands down. Later gang. JC [/QUOTE]
