Just traded in my yellow K1600 GA and ordered a yellow R1250RS. Expecting delivery mid March. All in a downsizing exercise. Lost 30% weight myself, bike to follow. Really enjoyed the test drives. While the GA was super to cruise, Belgium is much better suited for the RS. Although, most of the buddies are on GS. But my legs are too short for that, and the roads are really not that bad in Belgium.

Welcome.

Some great roads & scenery in Belgium but about 3 years ago I found some of the roads were poorly maintained. This was the area between St Vith and the German border near Monschau. Hopefully repaired now.

HAHA, coming from Luxembourg where I live, the roads in Belgium are pretty bad :-)
