[QUOTE="Hog"] The K1200GT is an absolute stormer. Bit pricey but it has taken them 12 years to come up with a worthy successor to the 1100LT. Fancy front ends are out of place on a sprotbike but for a fully laden tourer with 167bhp Mr Hossack would be righly proud.[/QUOTE] Why are fancy front ends unsuitable for a sportsbike? The telescopic fork really is a crap idea and any other design should be lighter and give better control of the front wheel. Just because most implementations of odd front ends are on lardibusses doesn't mean that it can't be done properly.
