Hey, new member here from Maryland. I bought a 2007 k1200GT from a buddy that needed some work, and I ended up buying a mint 2008 with a blown motor and a bunch of new parts. I've ridden most of my life starting with dirtbikes as a kids, sportbikes from my late teens, and have dabbled in cruisers. I must say I really like the ride of the K1200GT.
