No. I don't look good in khaki.

There is one sitting in our parking lot at work that I have been parking next to the last few days...
It sure makes my Duc look better when I am parked next to it.
just kidding

K bike, right?
I rode one as a loaner and IIRC you need >34" inseams to touch toes down.
And yeah, like all BMWs and Honda Elites, indestructible.

Thanks. It's a fully loaded (ABS, electrically adjustable windshield, suspension adjustment, orbital mind control laser interface, heated seats and grips, etc.) 2008 K1200GT with about 700 miles. The inseam problem isn't a problem at 32", because the seat lowers down and raises up for long-haul riding. (Do you believe that shit?) It's not the prettiest thing on the road, but I'm interested in touring and that's not going to happen on the 848. I considered the F800GS but after a test ride that's really not the bike for me.
Right now I don't know what's happening with the 848. I can't imagine not owning a Duc, but I also can't imagine dealing with these problems again.

Hard to describe and you'll think I'm nuts, but it just didn't inspire me to spend more time riding it. It's not a dirt bike and it doesn't feel like enduro, catches wind like a freaking sail and handles about as well as my gf's Bonneville. And the brakes felt like mush.
