Interesting bike. I've never ridden a K bike but have ridden a 1200 RT, which seemed like a great machine. I thought the on-the-fly adjustable screen was cool. I once did 700 or so with several hours in 110-degree heat on a SV650. That cured me of long, single-day rides and just about cured me of motorcycles. My primary bike these days is a 1200 GS. It is perfectly comfortable for 300 or 400 or 500 miles, then it seems more fun to stop and do something else.
