Enjoy!! They are lovely bikes. I expect that you will want to do some farkling but being a 2016 bike maybe somebody has done that already? 19 Plate R1250RS Exclusive with "bells & whistles" & full colour matched luggage |

Zitat von catneck im Beitrag #3 It took me awhile to get used to the grey case lids but I'm fine with it now. I just remind myself they match the tank center. A couple members here have painted their lids Lupin and I saw pictures of one with Light Grey Metallic lids. Both look good.

If you're trying to justify leaving them grey, they also match the valve covers. |

Zitat von catneck im Beitrag #1 Congratulations on what is already a classic bike and color. Just checked your info - are you really located near Mt. Ashland (and some great forest service roads) or was that simply where the photo of the ever versatile Honda CL350 scrambler was taken? (I note that Honda India re-introduced the CB350 this year.) If you do live near Mt. Ashland and decide to temporarily throw some knobbies or knobbiesque tires on the RS, let us know what you think. I do a fair amount of gravel per year, but never a sufficient percentage and (almost) never with sufficient aggressiveness to justify off-road or gravel tires. “A good man always knows his limitations.” |

This is probably motorbike #60 or so. I will live with the Lupin Blue for a bit, but I have notified my painter.
