Very nice. As a previous R1200RS owner, I confidently predict that you will love it.
Cheers,
Paul

For somebody who struggles to adjust the clock on a GS the amount of “tech” on this going to be a challenge!!
Might need a couple of new stickers.

I test rode an RS but felt the riding position was too far forward compared to the GS, the R felt more like the GS just lower which is why I want to change bikes as I was struggling with the height of the GS even after having it lowered, plus with the R you can rotate the bars.

Private sale in Bideford, joined the 1200r FB site, said I was looking for one & the guy messaged me. Just about every option fitted, luggage, Akra end can,still in the box!, 3 owners but only 8600 miles. Haven’t got rid of GS yet but sold everything off it. Away for a couple of weeks, have to have a ride up when I get back.
I was intending to have a road trip in the van as most of the bikes I was looking at are all up north so this one was a bonus.

To be honest Al we’ve done virtually no biking these last 2 years, but K still loves the Z9 and my 12 isn’t going anywhere, I’m going to put the F8 for sale very soon as it’s just sitting in the garage.
I shall look forward to seeing your new steed in the flesh and hope it’s everything you need and want

I have sold my XT660X, the GS will go eventually (I hope) and also selling my 125 Burgman as well and just have the R, thinking about getting rid of the MR2 as well but had a nice trip out in the sun to Bideford yesterday and thinking maybe not!!
