Hi All,

I'm new here, I did followed the posts for a while, but its about time to introduce myself.
My name is Johan, and I'm from the Netherlands, near Eindhoven.
In the past I've ridden very different type's of motorcycles, but stayed on my FJ1200 (with WP suspension):D .
This bike I bought in 1991 new, and until 2007 there wasn't (for me) a reason to alter my ride....

Until......

I was invited to try an R1200GS, and I was smashed.
The Evo brake's where awesome !!, the fun factor was at a level, I didn't
felt before.... This wasn't the Boxer I tried some fifteen years ago...
Wow....time to empty the piggy bank.....

Because I do like an sporty bike, my quest was to look for an S type with Evo brakes.
And look what I found, in die Heimat:
R1100S with EVO / ABS brakes and funny seat

Yeah, I'm happy with it.

And I do fit on this bike
With my 2 meters (6,56Foot) and 130kg (12.26 Stone)

Cheers
Johan

Thanks Guys for this warm welcome....

My brain told me to go for an GS, but the heart wouldn't listen.

and yes... I'm working on that 21.26 Stone....
The healthiest / cheapest (and hardest) way to speed-up the bike.....

@Henk
Thanks 4 zipping the crowd... It really feels cosy...

Ehh took a wrong converter.........

21.2 Stone is better.....
uhhh a car weighs approx. 298 Stone .....

Lets all change to metric, right hand drive and so on....
