This is my new ride, I had a S version in Europe and was in the need for that Sensation again, from my 2001 KRS to a 2007 k1200R Sport, both bike are great from a different prospective, boils down to how much your willing to spend...Just My point of view Matthew

That's just not fair, no matter how much wax I put on my bike, I can't get a backdrop like that here in PA!! Very nice!

[ASPHALT]

No matter how polished that black is...its going to have a few splatted bugs by days end. Worth it, though...

All the guys were laughing at me when they saw it being piloted by her and me chasing on the GSA out in Big Bend...actually they were wishing they were us! ... Better on the road pics to come.

No Luis I did not link them to brakes, just running lights, 4 feet long.
Tomorrow I am going to put on the 6" LED mirror signals, amber in color.

I picked my bike up today after getting the low side damage repaired. I got them to shoot it a different color since I never really liked the silver. I decided to go with Black Cherry.

Nice JM...but that's a H-D color isn't it:whistle
I say that because I had one;)

[JM1200GT]

I'm sure it is. The guy who operates the motorcycle collision center used to sell custom choppers and does custom paint as well. The paint quality is awesome!

[Gilly]

Awesome look:thumb Looks like he did the lower part of the fairing, (under the engine) too?
And is it an optical illusion or is the center section of your rear wheel painted black?

I left the under belly panel the original color as well as the inset of the tank back around the seat. The back wheel must just be in a shadow.
The color does change hues in light and shadowed light and makes for a great overall look. I'm VERY happy with it.

This is a picture of my old 2010 gt before my bike was infected by all the problems plaguing this model.

[Semper_Fi]

Loaded for bear - how much off road (non paved) fif you ride and how did the bike handle?

[tourist]

The bike handled great, it was me screaming like a little girl. I went north out of watson lake, route 4, I think....That was nearly hell but I beat the rain. I don't remember much pavement on that road. It had all the surfaces though. Worst was the thick river rock, that was like marbles, then there was a worser part which was new construction of the road...that part was soft dirt, even drove around the excavator that was parked in middle of the road. I am not sure if I should of been driving that section of the road or the section about fifty feet away. One looked as bad as the other and then they joined back together. That route was about 600+ miles with no pavement.
Then 100 miles north of fairbanks turns to gravel so thats about 800 miles to and fro and just when I thought there was no more gravel I deviated from my route and took the denali highway which was a hundred or more.
So of the 9k trip about 1500 was non paved.

If it's mine that you meant, the color is standard but the checkers are actually decals that I purchased years ago. They went on in 2 evenings (each color went on separately, so the alignment had to be good).
http://www.ralle-bikes.de/shop/index.php or http://www.2wheels4u.de/mondoshop/index.php?cat=KAT166 is where you can buy them.
That would also be my bike in the photos, up in Ohio in Winter!

It is a gently used, one-owner 2009, that had under 2,700 miles on it when purchased. Came with the exact options I was going to install, saving me time and money. Also came with a 49L top case that I had painted to match. Looking forward to long rides in the mountains.

I thought I'd share some photographs taken at Grattan Raceway late this summer. This was my first experience on a track and I realized that day that few of us get to experience the full potential of our bikes -- and despite a full day of wide-eyed riding and still didn't come close -- but boy was it fun! I can hardly wait until I get to go again.

Lee,

His and hers 2011 K1300S's! You've got to be kidding!? That is awesome and you clearly married well. I'm not sure if there are any differences between the 2009 (which is my bike) and the 2011s -- I did get the cam chain tensioner and all other notices done -- but I'm sure you'll agree the K13 (in any form) is an awesome bike. I'm somewhat surprised that there aren't more owners of the bike on this forum. I find it to be a supreme interstate sport tourer and not too bad in the twisties either!

Kent

[Lee]

That is awesome and you clearly married well.

I did get the cam chain tensioner and all other notices done --

Yes I did :):thumb
The 2011 has the new tensioner.
A couple weeks ago I removed the silver access cover and I see we do not have the jump guard, so I'll add that this winter or spring.

We had 03 K1200RS's before the 1300S's and liked those, but with the big weight savings on the 1300S we think these are much better. And more power doesn't hurt :)
The 1300S remindes us of our old K75s's on steroids.

I also had a K1200RS before the K12S. Loved the RS, had no intension of buying the "S", just didn;t need it, until I rode one. There are times I get dreamy and think I'd like the RS back, but then I ride the "S" and am happy for the new(er) bike.

Enjoy your new rides!
