I was a bit sad to see the old RS forum disappear, but I have no good excuse for taking so long to find its successor - this one. Belated thanks for the initiative!

Lurking a bit, I've seen several familiar nicknames, one of which belongs to someone from my local club, and another to someone I've had the undivided pleasure of meeting IRL on my way to Malta. I trust this will feel like home soon enough.

My third RS (so far) has about 73k km on the meter, almost all of it from its first five summers (before the pandemic). Seems like I need to learn how to be a tourist in my own country :)

Welcome (back)

I assume your previous RS bikes were not R1200RS?

Thanks. The assumption is of course correct, R100 and K100 were the previous ones.

Glad I was right. The alternative is that you killed two 2015/2016 R1200RS prior to the long term ownership of the current bike

Thank you all. The aforementioned R1200RS is no longer mine, a new R1250RS took its place on Friday. No more grey as the closest thing to black, this one IS black. I have no designs on the speeds of the Saturn V, so the same colour as the X-15 will do nicely :)

2021 R1250RS (2015 R1200RS, 1984 RZ/RD350LC2, 2012 CBF125, 2008 F800ST, 1985 K100RS, 1976 R100RS, 1976 RD350)
