Just returned from three days in Paonia, Colorado, at the 49th Annual BMW Top of the Rockies rally.
I decided to take my R1200R Classic. Of the roughly 600 people in attendance, there were lots of GS’s and RT’s (and a surprising number of Africa Twins) but only one other R1200R. Interesting how many folks were admiring it.
I thoroughly enjoyed the bike over the 3 days, 900 miles of riding. Very glad I took it and not my RT!
This photo was taken on the Dallas Divide, between Placerville and Ridgway, CO. Telluride is on the other side of those peaks.
