i have got a 2014 R1200R I really like but im thinking a 2015 or newer model might be even better. :) there is a 2017 or 2018 one for sale in the next state and im tempted. i'd love more power and cruise control. are there other good reasons to upgrade??
 
is your R1200R the one with the telelever front end? if yes you're definitely gonna miss it. that's how i felt when i upgraded back then for the LC model. it's gonna be such a waste. hahaa.
 
The 2017+ models have better styling, handling and improved rider aids like the pro riding models. you'll also get more power, cruise control, improved electronics and refined suspension. so, what do ya think? is it better to upgrade? most definitely :)
