Hello dear people, after 20 years of abstinence I want to get a motorcycle again. Last time I drove a GS850G and then an XJ900. A total of 14 years of motorcycle experience with approx.200,000 km (I was on the road a lot After the decision to get back on the road (at 51) and now (because of age) it can and should be also a BMW (was then among us young savages completely frowned poses to me a decisive question. R or K ? What do I want to do? Cruise n! On weekends, for 3-4 hours, maybe even longer. No long tours over several days. No highway, preferably country roads. Mostly alone, maybe two times. Top speed is not important to me, acceleration and good chassis count, am not a corner softness and let it be sporty. Quite clear, if it goes according to technology, is in my view the K 1200 R front. If I look at the Youtube videos, it should be a R 1200 R. Why? On all videos the I have seen the K 1200 R, the drivers only hang on the gas, the tachometer depends between 8 and 11000 tours, the device goes animally and I get blood pressure (I’m already too old for the part?) With the videos of the R 1200 R it’s a bit quieter to the thing (although I don’t underestimate the torque), actually something comes up to me (although the animal in the K admittedly is very irritating). So, now I come to the point. Can one with the K also “cozy” crui without constantly having the adrenaline level above the lower lip, or induces you to heat the motor characteristics (red range starting from 11,000). To make it clear again. Actually, I prefer the K 1200 R, unless someone here tells me “Let Grandpa, this part is too hot for you” You have a nice evening and thank you for your answers. Dirk
