Gustav, have you looked at the saddle Sargent does for the 919?

GS story .... BMW story

Bet he won't let you ride it now
I would let Rob ride any bike in my garage. He could take them anywhere he wanted. He has helped me so much with my bikes. I have rode with him so many miles that I literally trust him with my life. Plus how good is it to have a riding partner that is a nurse?! Lol

I thought this thread might be a K75 vs GS850G or K100 vs GS1000G bake off, since I've ridden many miles on all of them. If it's of any interest I would recommend the GS models. 
Correct!
The ZX-14 and 1ZX-4R lumps are heavenly... I know, I have one hauling my A$$ around!
My Buddy just bought a 14 BMW R1200RT... Gorgeous machine, I love how it looks.
Very light between the legs, he said all day comfort, I like it but not for $18K used.
If I get another BMW, it will be an Airhead. I know they are not bullet proof. I used to ride with a bunch of guys who rode them, and they had all manner of problems. Not a high number of problems, but every type of problem. They liked to make fun of the Triumph Hurricane I was using mostly at the time. That was the only leak free old bike I ever owned, and the only completely trouble free Brit bike I ever had. A number of the BMW guys spent a lot of money on go-faster parts. I hated the fairing package on my old airhead, because of noise and maintenance problems it caused. The bike carrying the fairing had lots of good about it.
What the heck:
Here is the Triumph
And here is my ancient RT

I keep going back to the photo of the R1200RT. What a beautiful shot. I'm not getting one, but man, that photo makes me want to be there on it; it really does.

My GS bikes are fast but my BMW is on a whole other level!!
That's nice
1300s is expen sive to maintain. I need money for spark plugs and oil.
golly gee worth it though.
Theres a youtube vide in Italian of a complete teardown of a 300 000 km 1300
I can understand the language but it seems to me that there is not a lot of wear on the parts in the engine.

What he said! I love Airheads!
It's really too bad we didn't get the K1300R in the US. I would buy one in a minute....
