R1200 valve cover protectors

Hi Now the R1200RS (2016) has gone I wondered if anyone was interested in these valve cover protectors? They are BMW part number 77 14 2 465 251 and new now cost £242 :shock: . They will fit the same model GS, R, RT engine as well of course. As you can see they do work. I have over balanced the bike...

... nearly the same as the last one

Like Gwayne, I was taken by the new Motorrad sport colours for the 1250RS. Went for a look, just looking honest, and that led to a test ride and that led to this.

Re: Not Mine, yet : V100 Mandello

I'm surprised that you both are looking to replace an R1200RS with a Guzzi. You hit the nail on the head! There's nothing wrong with the RS, it's a great bike. Day-long comfortable, fast enough for me, not a GS and not an RT :D I've had mine 6 years and although the 1250RS is a bit better it's not ...

Re: Not Mine, yet : V100 Mandello

Thanks for the report. Getting a ride on a Mandello is on my 'to do' list, also to replace a R1200RS. It got a good review in MCN but like you I'm not sure about the service and support.

Something for a dry day in the coming months.

Re: Bob Burnett

Lovely guy. I thought I kept my bikes clean until I saw Bob's. He was very generous with his time and, as Paul says, provided s/s bolts and more (including titanium front axles) for the group.

RIP

Hi Steve

Don't know that I've been to the Hand but from the various write-ups would be very happy to give it a go in '23.

Brilliant video Paul, as you say, they're all crazy!

Particularly enjoyed the enthusiastic use of the fire extinguisher :D

Re: Make your Reservations now for trixter bash Sun.4th and 5th September

Back home after a pretty miserable ride from Denholm to Edinburgh where it finally stopped raining, so just had spray to contend with the rest of the way. Thanks again to Chris (and Amanda) for a truly great Boxertrix meet-up. It was so good to get together again. The hotel did us proud, the ride ou...
