Good to hear, hoping I can keep my body together long enough to enjoy retirement and still ride a sporting street bike. The two bikes are so similar, S1000R and XR, I would do the same and just get the R as comfy as possible. With 17K miles, I am sure you have it setup nicely and have had some serious amounts of fun with it. If my body was not so beat up, I probably would of bought the S1000R the minute they released it, the price was just too good for everything they offer on that model. BMW sure put a hurting on a lot of Japanese mfg with the release of the S1000R, not that much more and a more refined street bike with the heart of a race bike.

 :400: oldbiker!  I just joined the forum.  Traded my 2014 S1000R for a new 2016 XR yesterday.  I loved the R but wanted the comfort and touring of the XR.  It is a fantastic bike and worth waiting for.

Welcome to the forum Oldbiker!!  Sounds like you have a pretty nice ride right now.  Have you done a demo ride on the XR yet??   :305:

Many people ride.....but for a select group of people it's more than a ride....it's one of life's great passions.

I have not gone for a test ride yet I  think if I ride it I will want it more then I do now. I went for a 400 MI. ride today and my back side hurts but it was a fun ride.

If you are able to handle the heat of riding around Nevada in the summer, you're doing ok in my book and if a sore bum is all you ended up with  :062:
