Got quite a few optional extras too.

That one's gift the analogue suspension - i.e. non ESA. Nothing wring with that but hence the price as these are £2k cheaper than the SE.
There's a 16 reg SE top spec for same money on the R1200RS forum right now. 3 months old and guy wants to sell before winter. He's offering it for trade in money so he can be cash buyer for his next bike. Bargain for someone.

Im actually on the 12RS forum as I was seriously looking a while back. I have to be honest the thing that puts me off most (out of all the tech) is the ESA. The lack of finite adjustment and the huge cost in the event of failure outside of warrantee. How do you like it? I still haven't had a test ride.
R1200GS TC. Triple Black
R1200S. It’s gone. Had it 11yrs. My favourite bike in 42yrs riding.

£9,500 for a year old R1200RS
Bargain, but spare some thought for the poor sod who bought it new.
How much did they give him for it, and how much did he lose in a year.
