thanks for stopping by my friend and thank you for the comment. I've decided to give TH-cam an actual proper go and have some exciting content coming up over the next couple weeks I hope. Would be great to see you come on the journey with me:-) hope to see you in th next one :-)
Hi, nice to see another great review of this awesome bike. I actually started out on the R1200R and now own an R1250R. I have been out on many other top end bike and my R1250R Sport is still my favourite bike. All the best and Ride Safe…
I'm looking at this 2020 r1250r, and test rode it recently, it has so much torque, I didn't even need to get 3/4 on the throttle to feel incredible torque
I have an S1000R, thinking this may be a good swap for more torque but just as much fun on the road? (do you still get the pops and gurgles on over-run though!?)
Been riding bikes of all types since 1979, including a sports straight 4 (GSXR750R). Have had a R1250R since 2021, and it is the best bike I have ever had. It is the torque, it just pulls at low revs, and every time it puts the smile on my face. However, if you are into revving the engine/playing through the gears for the power, don't buy. It handles extremely well, but best for a afternoon fast rides on twisties, powering out of bends. A long journey on a motorway is a waste.
I see that you have the sport seat (840 mm). How do you find it? Hard, soft, medium? Do you have any fatigue because of the sport seat and stock height handlebar? Do you feel any pain? Thanks for the answers. Cheers.

Hi Mark, I recently bought one of these, I traded my GS for one, I’m really enjoying it too. I bought the ‘sport’ version. Please tell me what tail bad you are using, it looks neat and suits the bike.
@@bloodhoug82 it’s called ‘style sport’ hence why I put it in single commas, plus my bike came as a special order with HP and 719 options and an Akropovic, and is by its very definition sporty looking, so there.
I'm also looking to do the same. GS1200 TE 2019, I find it too big of a bike and adv bikes in the UK never go off road. Myself included. So wanting the 1250R or Rs. Yet to ride either. I'm hoping a screen can be fitted to the 1250R to reduce some wind as I plan on riding it all year round.
@@inked-96 why did you buy a GS in the first place? You knew you wouldn't go off-road. There are plenty of screens for the R. Like the Marathon one. So you should find what you're looking for.
That Akrapovic, sounds great.

ive just traded my s1000r for one in the same colour ... cant wait to take delivery
Nice bike dude - how comes the swap mate?
I have an S1000R, thinking this may be a good swap for more torque but just as much fun on the road? (do you still get the pops and gurgles on over-run though!?)
After a series of routers\adventure bikes I bought a R1250R in the summer what a machine
I love it... out of curiosity where do you think this engine sits? is it faster than a sports bike on the road in the real world?
Not faster but as quick especially on B roads. Would be killed by sometime in track but I don't do track days so not an issue.
Ice grey looks good, looking forward to riding one next year, very underrated machine
I have read many a silly comment about this being an old mans bike. I see no need for the adjective. It’s a mans bike.
Fantastic video review mate, the riding aspect of this one is really exciting you really sent it 🤣👊👊The bike is really quick😱😱🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍 superb machine!
THANKS DUDE :-)

Terrific review. I also loved your review of the Street Triple - which do you prefer of the two?
I see that you have the sport seat (840 mm). How do you find it? Hard, soft, medium? Do you have any fatigue because of the sport seat and stock height handlebar? Do you feel any pain? Thanks for the answers. Cheers.

There is no sport version anymore. It's just a colour

Yes it is. :) Rode this bike. Can check my content bro.
What make is the storage bag on the passenger seat??

Worth the extra over the Street Triple RS?
