Hi,
I'm an old guy finally throwing a leg over sport bikes. 1st ride was a Lambretta 125 when I was 14, followed by many mid-size Japanese cruisers, then 30 years on Harleys. When I saw a 07 K1200GT when they 1st came out, I wanted one.
Well, I got a good deal on a used 07 this past May and love it. I started riding with some sport riders around my age and realized that I really didn't know how to ride a bike, so I went for two days to California Supebike School where they use the S100RR. Was so impressed that I knew I would eventually get one.
Test rode one on the street and there is no way my arthritic old neck could handle the low clip-ons for street riding. I saw this one advertised with a hi-bar mod. Rode for around 30 minutes - loved it - Well, I bought it!
So now I have a 2007 K1200GT, a 2011 S1000RR, and a customized 2000 H-D Softail that will be for sale this spring. Looking forward to being on the forum. In fact, researching this forum is how I learned about hi-bar conversions and started me searching for a used S1000RR.
