Me and K went to the launch at Dick Lovetts last Saturday to view the GS & 800GT both very nice, I hadn't noticed how close the headers were on the 1200, would suit a "sporty" road boxer………

That's a worry.

Mr. Spock is my role model so be advised; I possess no (discernible) sense of humour.
It's all VFR (DCT) round here now. STILL missing my 1100s tho.

Hi Phil (& Karen)
Proper Multi plate clutch that is accessible is the big step forward as far as i'm concerned. Put the LC motor in a sporty chassis and that might just be my retirement present to me .

The engine looks a lot more compact, and the oil filter is in a unusual position. The clutch though will be very accessible fom the front.
