Hi Guys and Girls,
Just purchased a second hand R1200RS, what a wonderful, capable machine! I�m going to be commuting from Sydney to Canberra a lot and I can�t think of a better way to do it!
I look forward to advice and ideas and maybe even meeting a few fellow RS riders.
Cheers,
James

Hi James

Indeed it is a belter of a bike. BMW's finest creation IMO.

You have good roads (& weather) to enjoy over there too.

All the best

While I've driven the (somewhat boring?) road to Canberra many times in a car, I haven't taken the bike down yet. So I'd be interested in hearing about your experience. I agree that the RS is just the bike for the job!

I've never gone down past Sydney actually.

..and last time we were there we were in a VW Kombi nearly 30 years ago! But yeah, great bike
