Beautiful bike. Too bad I don't know how ride one! :) On the other hand, that's probably a good thing!

The Ks I've tried are too tall for me. My feet don't touch the ground when I straddle one.

I'll have to get on a 650GS to see if I fit it one of these days, but if not, I'll have to look at Japanese bikes.

You might look into a lowering kit. Even some jap bikes are tippytoes only for us squirts, unless you get a really small, underpowered bike. At least that's what I found. You might look at the Suzuki SV650 or Ducati Monster 600 or 750.

Another trick is to take some of the foam out of the seat.

They can pretty easily be lowered. A lot of the 650GS bikes that I have seen for sale have been lowered already.

The Ks have almost the same hp as my 325!!

After the last bike price hairball I coughed up, I don't even want to know how much it costs. :cry:

I miss my K75S!

I stopped riding when we started having kids, and I'd ride off on a Saturday morning with my wife looking like it was going to be the last time she ever saw me.

I'm guessing $19k easy.

Gotta be wealthy... :(

just take a tall, scruffy-looking kickstand along with you :eeps:

...You might look at the Suzuki SV650 ...

IMHO best motorcycle $ for $. I'm looking at one for the wife and I just got quoted $5099 for a brand new 2003. That's el cheapo for how well that motorcycle rides.

As for the K1200S :jawdrop: But I prefer nekids

I dunno... I feel like I'm so far off of the ground on my friend's K100, I'm not sure any reasonable lowering kit would do it. But I'm open to try. ;)

I'll have to ride one when they do finally show up. It looks sort of like a spidery version of the RS. But, I still love my RS so I don't think I will be trading anytime soon. :)

What a bad @ss bike! :yumyum:

[Dan4tuc58]

OH MY.... wow that bike is siicc (awesome)!!! i'll take 10! :thumbup:

I don't ride motorcycles, but HOT DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wouldn't this be the one to make me start?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yikes:No, this would not be the correct motorcycle to START riding on. You would kill yourself very quickly. A machine with this much power is intended for the experienced rider or a fool. :D
