  1. I have done 15,000 km in a year riding mainly in Dordogne area with a couple of longer trips around France. So far not a single deer crossed my path. However, I do slow down when a traffic warning sign indicates deer next x kilometers. I think France is one of the best places to ride a bike. Mostly good, empty roads, well sign posted and you can ride almost all year. Keep the bike and be alert for deer...
  2. I bought year ago a Yamaha FZ6-N here in Dordogne. Great bike but since it is a naked bike, it is not much fun on long distance trips (>700 km/day). I am planning to buy a second bike, a long distance sports tourer and have narrowed the choice to BMW K1200S. The bike has 168 hp engine but limited to 106 hp in France. I would like to know if anybody has experience about this 106 hp version. Is it worth the money anymore, how is the handling etc.? I really do not need all that power but since the bike is designed for that maybe cutting the power so much will make the performance worse. I do not know how the power restriction is done in practise. Is it simply a different fuel injection mapping (which should be easy to re-map) or something else?
