Wheather is slowly getting better, but still not much fun on a bike. Today I went to a motorshow to see if they have a successor for my ST1300. I saw for the first time the VFR1200F in real life. It's appearance is quite nice and I'm sure it's a fine bike, but for me the fuel tank with its 18 liters is way too small. I like my tanks big :) So scratch the VFR. Now what? FJR1300? Nope, more or less outdated and I want something different from an inline four. 1400GTR? Model 2010 is very nice, but too expensive and has an inline 4. R1200RT? To be honest I do not like the appearance very much, but the specs are great: 27 liter tank, heated grips and buddy, traction control, electronic suspension adjustment, cruise control, etc. This must be a perfect touring machine. My dealer has a model 2008 I'm going to try next Saturday. Stay tuned...
