XL1200R's are great looking bikes.

Is the power up compared to other 1200's (like the old 1200S was up on power as standard)?
No, all the 1200's are the same, sure feels faster with the mid controls and drag bars though.

I find myself using the passenger pegs a lot.
With lower handlebars its very comfortable at speed.

I have hiway pegs also, but don't use them very much at all, just to stretch out a bit, but not for long.

I plan on getting the small luggage rack and/or saddle bags for runs to the store for food, to the bank, hardware store, etc, make those chores fun.
Maybe take the long way home...
