Hello from Notts

[Chriscapon]

Hi all,
Been wanting an R1200S ever since I saw them at the NEC back in 2005 I think it was. Always thought what a stunning bike it looks and recently I managed to get my hands on one. What a ride and what a noise. Absolutely everything I wanted it to be I am based A few miles south of Nottingham and looking for a few rides around these parts...any advice?
Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris and welcome to Boxertrix

Nice looking 1200S, never seen that colour scheme, I like it and it looks very clean

Them tyres don't look suited to the British climate, need more tread

Enjoy the bike and the site Mate

Welcome along. Some great roads around here for riding in groups or solo. Lincolnshire Wolds are a short ride away, Loops around Melton Mowbray, Loughborough, Grantham etc. Snake Pass is a good mornings ride. To be honest, we are spoilt for choice around here. Peak District is close as well.
Maybe meet up for a ride out some time?

Thanks for the welcome folks. I used to be just outside Sheffield so know loads of routes around the Peaks now I need some new ones closer to here to add to them. I’ve found a Melton Mowbray loop which is really nice and had a ride to the Victoria Pub ( I think it’s called) and met a few other there for a chat. As for the colour scheme, it was red/silver/black but someone did a paint job on it before I bought it - the M-Power strips look really good in the flesh As for tyres, funnily enough I’ve had to get a new rear thanks to a misplaced screw. Michelin Pilot Power - had them on a K1200s and really liked them. Looking forward to meeting some of you
