Oh and is the BMW Nav system any good? with GPS etc?

I went to the BMW day at Bury Hill last weekend and rode the R1200RS(2017) very nice, impressed with the engine/fueling and lack of snatch in the drive train unlike the Honda. A very smooth relaxed ride with oooomph if you needed it - could be next on my shopping list

Hi Peeps,
currently a Honda VFR1200X owner - looking to swap over to the R1200S. So thought a look at the forums might prove beneficial before parting with any money. It might give me insight into any problems/faults etc
Cheers
