Just joined. First BMW Boxer. I traded a K1200 R Sport for it. I had little confidence in th K1200 longevity. I love my RS, a 2016. The cruise control is a Godsend here where a 35 mile ride on I84 is required to get to interesting roads. My only complaints about the RS are the instrument cluster and the lack of �OMYGOD� top end rush the K bike had. I guess I can live with the flatulent exhaust note, but I do wish it sounded more like my Ducati.

Welcome to the site.
Both my wife and I had K1300Ss before trading for RSs.
Earplugs help with the funny sounding exhaust :)

Mt Home is 35 miles east of Boise in the southern part of the state. If you are riding, there are a lot of great roads in the area. Even I90 is not bad.

Unfortunately, I am short on time so I will be flying up but did manage to score a 392 Challenger for the weekend. The ride up is definitely on the planner, I just need to find the time.
