This was a previous poll that was lost.

What was your previous Motorcycle before the F6B ???

Previous ride was a 2011 HD Roadglide Ultra

Previous comparable bike was a BMW R1200RT. A great touring bike, but wasn't what I needed at the time.

2008 Suzuki M109r.

I had a moderately modded 2008 Bking. For those that aren't familiar it is the naked version of the Hyabusa which I've owned.

I am considering a 2015 R1200RT/K1600GT myself. Rode a F6B last week and it just didn't grab me to buy it. Wind buffeting was horrible over 50mph and the seat didn't suit me. Power was great, ride was very comfortable on bumpy streets, handled fine but felt like I was on a boat compared to my HD Super Glide Custom. What is all the talk about the F6B paint jobs?

What did you like/Dislike about the R1200 you owned? Other than how much they cost to buy? Are they reliable? Plan on test riding the BMW bikes this week. I would buy a ST1300 if they weren't $15,000 FOR A LEFTOVER 2012. Southern Honda won't come off the price on them! Also I want to test a 2015 FJR1200A, new $13,500 plus tax,tag,title but my local dealer will not let me test ride it.

Hope everyone doesn't mind me asking all this...
