My last three bikes have all been VFRs . Had been looking at the new VFR1200 but at 11.5k thought I would have a look at the K1200S which had always been out of my price range .
Managed to get a 2006 for £6500 with 8000 miles and it was in really good condition .
It has been a great bike so far and is fast and comfortable at the same time still being sporty enough for me . I have the BMW panniers with the locks set up to my ignition key and they are great .
The only down points , and they are very minor is the fuel tank is a little small and I am still getting used to the left and right indicator switches !!. I understand the new K1300s has a conventional switch but these points are nothing compared to the joy of the bike . I have a standard grey bike and I never thought I would break from the VFRs but
I have . Honda will have to do something special with the VFR1200 to get be back.
