I sold the 1200 Sport a couple of years ago due to electrical gremlins that neither I nor two dealers were ever able to exorcise. I loved the bike, but I kind of had a bad taste in my mouth and replaced it with Brand X (OK, it was BMW). Well whoever it was that told me when I bought the Sport that it wouldn't be my last was right on the money. As of two days ago, the Beemer is gone and I'm back in the fold with a 2016 V7 II Special. So far, I'm more than happy and I'm looking forward to to joining the chorus of small block fans.
