Hello All,
Bought a Candy-striped 2006 R12S in January. My first and quite excited at the prospect of owning a sports bmw boxer. Have been limited to a couple of very short rides at the moment while getting all the service requirements up-to-date and then finding the front shock leaking, which is now removed for servicing. Our weather here now is oppressively humid, hot and showery, so a good time to get everything sorted ready for our long perfect riding season.
Looking forward to being part of the forum, cheers!

Welcome along!
Any feel for how popular the R1200s was/is - in Australia?
Al

Al, they are uncommon. Although there are currently 7 for sale on BikesSales over here across the whole of Oz, I've only ever seen one other in my local area while out on a ride. Which makes owning one a bit special
Nigel, Ha Ha! I recall Dublin's summer was pretty good in comparison though. Our February humidity results in us profusely sweating just sitting in the shade thinkin of a ride ... 37C here today too
Cheers Pete

Welcome Pete.
7 for sale - that's not many per square mile
Enjoy (when it's cool enough to ride).

Mike, that would be Hinze dam if it was the Gold Coast hinterland. Certainly some very nice riding around there & one my favourite playgrounds
Thanks for the welcome everyone, cheers! Pete.
