Maybe in a couple of years now.
I've gone and bought a new S1000r so need to let that depreciate a bit more before I think about buying another one.
The RS12 was on the cards, but the S1krs really lit me up

Load your picture in a hosting site like photobucket or similar.

That's what I did for my for sale post.
BTW, I have a nice R1200r up for sale in the for sale section somewhat cheaper than your Vic if your interested although you are a bit far North mind.

Got caught out Sunday night on the way to catch ferry. Road gritted and salted across the New Forest.
Had to pay a euro next morning for a two minute jet wash just to make sure Id removed as much as I could as Im over here for a week and the bike might dissolve before I get home!

I was aiming for the new 12r next year, however the RS has added another choice now so I'll see both in the metal and ride them then decide. I seem to be in a minority but even after 30,00 on my 12ST, 93,000 on my 12RT and maybe 6k so far on my 12r, I prefer tele forks! I prefer the LH/RH indicators...

In addition, for your France trip; just take a litre with you. That's what I used to do. 1 liter? What on earth do you need such an amount of oil for? For my annual 1-week tour to France or Italy which spans over 2500 kms I take 250 ml of oil with me. And most of that goes back home with me ... Brg...

The 10/40 synthetic in my 19,000 mile 12r seems to do the job. Ive just come back from Spain chasing cuatro, liter sports bikes my mates are riding. Im pleased to report very little oil usage, when I took my R12st there an back 5 years or so ago it used 1.25 liters of 20/50 mineral. Mind you I run u...

97,000 miles on my old girl. was still going well until I threw her at a rock face in Switzerland early July. I'm now down to my R12r with 18,000 on, so she has a bit to catch up on old faithful. Unfortunatly I fear old faithful won't be doing any more miles, not down to unreliability but to my own ...
