Is the 2004 BMW R1150R a good bike?
I rode a 2004 R1150R for 13,000 trouble-free miles. I did the oil and filter changes myself and thought they were easy cheezy. It is a great bike for longer rides and you can fit enough wind protection to make them just as comfortable as an RT (IMO). I had a sargent seat on mine and managed some 600 mile days with no real issues.
