Hi everyone
I've had a 2004 R1100S Boxercup since 2005, done over 65k miles on it, decided it was time for an upgrade so yesterday I picked up a 2016 R1200RS SE Sport with 21k miles on the clock. I had a nice 65 mile ride home in the wet!
I think the hardest thing is going to be remembering what button does what!
I'm going to want a higher seat, probably the Sport seat, and maybe a change of exhaust. Any recommendations, and what other modifications would people recommend, if any?
Thanks

Hi,

I've put a set of SW Motech engine bars on mine. Easy to fit, look good in black and surround the pot casings rather than pass over them, makes it easier for maintenance etc.

I did put a Blue Flame end can on mine as well but, after 1000 miles or so, I had an epiphany and put the original can back on...personal choice but I think the original (especially when clean and shiny) looks and sounds great!

I've had my RS since May, it's the best bike I've ever owned/ridden and I've had a fair few bikes in the 42 years I've been riding.

Welcome and enjoy 😉

Welcome.

You seem to have a couple of popular mods already. The sat nav cradle has been moved and those look like MV Motorrad bar risers.

I have the MV Motorrad peg lowering kit which gives me more leg room with the standard seat. I have also fitted a second accessory socket on a fly lead to the bars which then pops into my tank bag to power whatever.
