Title: Hi from Italy
Post by: madmax91 on June 12, 2016, 10:02:16 AM
Hi everyone,
I have been riding a Bmw from quite a while (my first big bike was Her Majesty R80 GS  :eek: , bought in 2009 and proudly still in my possession) and after a couple of long trips (from South of Italy to Poland, then another one to UK) I sadly had to reckon that I needed something more "protective" if I might say...so that's my new toy!  :2thumbup: a 1993 K RS!!
Unfortunatly I study in a foreign country, so now "she" is waiting for me in my garage to come back in a month...I'm sooo excited about this piece of work of a bike that I can't wait to find out all her qualities that lead me to buy it!! Indeed, I might "bother" you with a question or 2 about this legend, please forgive me but I'm too curious about some details and I couldn't find the answers on the net, hope you guys can help me!

Lamps, Max :)

Welcome, madmax. Judging from your avatar it is understandable why you want more protection. Two eye patches interfere with steering.

 :hehehe you exactly got my point!

Jokes apart, I needed indeed a better fairing and I dind't want to spend too much on a new bike..I was curious about the K1300GT but (maybe I'm wrong) from what I read around the net, I understood that the post 2005ish Bmw are not so reliable as the pre 2005ish ones...never had an issue with my gs (apart from a shifting gear spring that left me on walk but that was due to my "hard attitude" on it i presume  :dunno) and to justify my purchase I would like to quote a famous catch: "This is a BMW K. Not as clumsy or random as the others. An elegant bike for a more civilized age." :))
I was really pleased to find out that there is a quite big community around this bikes and I'm very happy to have joined you!

:cowpoop: That age has expired right around the time going to a locksmith became a hardship.
