Locked Re: Recommendations for Touring
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI have a current R1250RS and have found it to be a wonderful sport tourer.? If you are happy with the bikini fairing on the R90S, the smallish screen on the RS will be familiar.? The modern brakes and powerful motor make a current bike easy to like, and it handles really well.? Also, the modern saddlebags don¡¯t come open on their own.? I routinely get 50mpg on the RS, while my R90S can drop under 40mpg if I¡¯m having a bit of fun.? I have a 29¡± inseam, and yet I can flatfoot the RS.? ? On the downside, all of the 1250s are heavier than the R90S, and the RS is harder to get up on the centerstand.? ? --Darryl Richman ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

Hi Group I realize this is a little off base to pure R90S discussion, but cannot think of a better group to pose this question to. My wife and I are looking to do some longer trips than we usually take with the R90S, and I am trying to decide which BMW models would be best for these rides. We like back roads along and live on the West Coast with mountains and coasts.? I would love to hear the group thoughts regarding the best models?that would be comfortable for 2-up riding over longer trips and varied landscapes. Thanks in advance, Denny |
