I've traded in my 800ST for a 2011 model R1200R with just 450 miles on the clock. I found the posts here very very helpful indeed in coming to that decision, so thanks to all of you. I'm thinking of doing a HID conversion. I had one on the ST and was convinced that it made me far more visible and hence safer. Any views or experiences to relate? Thanks

I put an HID on my former F800ST but after being confronted with them on other bikes and cars I've decided they're completely obnoxious, unnecessary & not worth the bother. And on the R, they erode the classic roadster character. So I've bought a set of Denali D2's to put up front instead and gonna look like this [8)][:)][8)] instead of this [8)]

Have just ordered some 100w H7's for my RT.... (not strictly road legal though, but on country lanes at night they could be a life-saver). Slightly concerned about the additional heat over the 55w standard ones (not that it ever gets hot in the UK!). Does anyone have experience of these?
