Hello everybody,

Finally I found another R1200RS forum. I was member of another Forum that died for some unknown reason. After riding a CB500 four in my younger days I quit because I became a danger for others and myself. In 2001 I started riding again and bought a brand new Yamaha Thundercat, in the US known as YZF600R. I really loved the bike, and allthough I planned to ride it for four years and then trade it in, I never found a good allround sportsbike that could replace it. That is, untill I saw the first pictures of the RS. I fell in love rightaway. I ordered it in 2015 to be delivered in early 2016. I couldn't wait! Now since I had it, I rode about 25.000 kilometers with it, and I can tell you, it was just pure fun! I only ride the RS for pleasure, no commuting. Occasionally I am travelguide for a Dutch travelagency that specialises in group tours throughout the EU. I have the faster blue/white RS :-)

Donderkat, you’re so right, it’s a brilliant Bike, but you’re slightly confused with the attributes of the colour- it’s just harder to clean 😭

Welkom hier op het RS forum!

Just curious, which travel agency you're working for? Always interested in new possibility to make more trips on the RS!
