Maritimer:
Just got my new 1200X today. It came with a center stand, power outlet,and heated grips. I added the Givi bags, the Givi skid plate and the Givi crash bars. I love the color. It also came with the Bridgestone tires. I took my last trip on my Varadero to Americade (Lake George, N.Y. -USA) That bike with 105,000 kms still works great. I hope the new one will be as good. I added a photo but I'm not sure if it went through.

JosepM:
Congratulations for your new toy!
Which I can see is a three coloured DCT  :)
IMO there's a couple more things you're going to need, namely a higher screen and a longer rear mudguard  ;D

Enjoy it,

Josep

zebulon:
A lot of pleasant kilometers with your new (as you've done with the dero). For the picture,it is better if you can upload elsewhere and link here, due to the place on our servers  VCIF_salut

Skye:
US can definitely need some more Varaderos

"Hold your horses boy, what kind of motorcycle is that?"

Maritimer:
It's a manual transmission which I love. I love the shifting function of driving a motorcycle. I respect everyone the prefer the DCT but to me, shifting is part of the motorcycle experience I enjoy.

I have added a 1 inch foam in the seat for now. I may have to modify it some more. I also order Black Anodized
Hunter tread 121054H-2210 ,$199.95 from Knight Design. That will drop my foot peg about an inch.  I find it expensive ($240.00 , including shipping). That will cost me $328 Canadian.

The next issue will be the windscreen. If I was just touring locally, I would leave the stock screen. I love the design that it goes up and down. Down in town up on the highway. The buffeting is not bad. The problem for me is the width. I need a wider screen for stormy highway touring days.

I may also get a set of hand guard extensions.  i'm going around the Cabot Trail  ( http://www.novascotia.com/explore/top-25/cabot-trail ) today to add up the mileage for my 1000 km service. I'll get a better opinion of the bike when I return.
