    Yesterday I put my 2015 F6B Deluxe, up for sale, wanting to get a FJR which I have wanted one for a very long time, today standing in the garage looking at that pretty blue B sitting there I'm thinking I can't sell it. Guess I'll put a Laam seat on it, change out the rivco highway pegs for Kury IIIs add some clearwater lights and call it good.

Also my wife doesn't ride with me so I figure the Connie will be a good 2nd choice and a whole lot cheaper!
    If you've never tried a BMW R1200RT, do yourself a favor and try it before you settle on the Connie.
    I test rode the 2019 r1200rt a few weeks back and loved everything except the two cylinder noise and feel. A week later I test rode a 2016 which is now in my garage.
    I've spent the last 5 years with 2 bikes in the garage (f6b plus another). I loved the fb6 but wanted something sportier and lighter. Went through FJR (considered Connie), F6C, then Ninja1000. Ninja was closest so I thought about selling the B and keeping only the Ninja until I did a 420 mile 14 hour day on the backroads. My knees were sore for 2 days.
    I went looking for a used K1600gt and ended up on the r1200rt. The r1200rt is comfortable, quick, 200 lbs lighter, manages wind very well and has lots of storage. The r1200rt also has a lower center of gravity than the inline 4s (FJR/Connie). It has only been a week but I've done 2 350+ backroad days and I don't miss the B one bit. The 2 cylinder engine may be noisy and ugly but the torque is fantastic everywhere.
    I wanted something great on the highway and great on the back roads in the mountains. So far I believe I've found it.

    I've read and heard very good things about the Laam seat. Also, if you haven't looked into Mic-O pegs, they are worth taking a look at for some different positions than the Kury's, though the Kury's are nice, too. Good luck with it all!
