Long time since I posted here. Been busy with life, but still riding the C14. However, been thinking hard to 'downsize' in terms of height and weight. Max I ride these days is a 200 mile loop.
Saw a nice 2018 R1200 RS on local BMW dealer. Very nicely setup with the R1200R bars (wider) and some risers (plus some other stuff). If they give me a decent trade on my C14 (taking it there this Tuesday), I will pull the trigger.

Any thoughts? Convince me to stick with C14 ?
You’re gonna miss that power...
BMW’s have a lot of cool gadgets, make SURE you get an extended warranty cuz if something goes wrong...(and they do)
The Connie is so easy to work on, cheaper to maintain, plus you already own it. (Guessing)
Add some helibar horizons for the cost of a bike payment ($600) and it will make the Connie ridiculously comfortable.
Connie is much sexier, BMWs are boring.
Sometimes, though, you just HAVE to get something new...
It’s a BMW dealership, you’re gonna get HOSED on a trade-in. Keep the Connie AND get the Beemer!
