Well, after 9 years with the 2004 ST1300, I finally made a change this spring. Thought it was time for something newer. 9 years seems to be my refresh rate. Had my Kawasaki 600R Ninja for 9 years, then the Kawasaki Concours for 9 years, then the ST. So I looked around and bought a 2011 BMW R1200RT. It is fully loaded with all the good stuff 2011 had to offer!
Took a little while to get used to the boxer engine, but all good now after a few thousand km’s. Not quite the smoothness or the power of the Honda, but lighter weight helps. Seems more stable on the highway as well. Was still a sad day to see the trusty ST leave though.
