Zitat von M3M im Beitrag #18 In the US the luggage rack was a option on the R1200RS and R1250RS but most of the R1200RS bikes were delivered with the rack. Same for the R1200R. I'm guessing most of the R1250RS and R bikes will be delivered with the rack.

If you take off the rear foot pegs hangers, you may need a handle to lift the bike onto it center stand. Notice mine started out life black Mark |

Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #22 Until you "get on to it", those of us that came from Oilheads or original K-bikes...........we were looking for a lift handle or point as we had on our prior BMW's. But, as you say.......Left hand on the handgrip, left foot on the center stand arm, place all your weight on your left foot and push aft on the passenger grab bars. The bike will either rock onto the center stand or the center stand will sink into the ground. Old Forum Orphan |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #24Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #22 I do have to apologize for an error in this description. After writing, I went for a ride and realized .......... I use the right to stand on the center stand arm.

A few years ago, Alison was finishing up estate stuff at her mother's home, up the street. I hadn't seen Alison since high school, so I said hello and we chatted a bit. When you come from a very small place, it's easy to know people in a multi-generational manner. In any case, during that conversation, the name of another local came up and Alison exclaimed..........."He was always a mysterious fellow".
