Always like the boxer engines though I'm not a fan of the new "water-head". Stopped at the BMW/Indian shop yesterday and they had the 719 model on the floor. Beautiful bike, anyone had.have one?
 
No Sorry..... But.. Given their used prices the BMW K1200S & K1300S are an incredible value I love mine {K1300S} I know not what you asked, but hey... More information the better,,

I've never ridden a K-bike, just not really an inline 4/6 guy I suppose.
 
I nearly bought a R nineT but ended up buying the FTR. I also looked at the Hypermotard and a few others, but just really fell in love with the complete hooligan feeling of the FTR. Reminded me of when I was a kid on my dirtbike. Never bought one but at least came close. The FTR just seemed like more fun, but the Bimmer was nicer. Fit and finish and all that. That's the one knock I have on the FTR as a whole. Now I would trade in the FTR on the R1250R or the new Buell 1190SX but those are both a bit more bike than the FTR or R nineT.

I rode a buddies 950 Hyper the other day, wow what a sweet bike.
