I'm coming from S1000RR and hoping to go with either 1200GS, 1200RS or S1000XR, for comfort and long ride capability. A few things that concerned me when I test rode this. There was quite a lot of wind hitting you on freeway and my shin smashed the cylinders each time I kept my foot at stops. I'm 190 cm, so perhaps it's due to my height. Have you got any experience with pillion?
Good vid thanks for posting it. I have just placed an order for one of these bikes. The seat height was of particular interest to me. I am 6ft with 32in inside leg. The test bike had the Standard seat and seemed OK. Does it start to tell after a long trip? It's a pity we have to shell out for fender extenders huggers etc. It's all down to fashion. Bikes are probably designed by youngsters, but it's mostly old gits who ride them. Thanks again.
Nice video. (I love how you carefully concealed the RS's number plate but left your car's fully on show!)
what about tank protector? i think i saw something like this on your bike

Where's the sound of the exhaust?

Did fitting the aftermarket exhaust void the bike warrenty?.
no
Did fitting the AC Schnitzer exhaust lean out the mixture (more backfires on deceleration)??
Great vid; thanks.
Lovely bike, good vid
Any links to the mods?
Are you considering extra lighting?
not at the moment
you forgot to fire it up
