Yes Chris, I must admit the S felt like a heavy classic sport bike when I rode after the R1200R.
I liked the gadgets on the R, and enjoyed the cruise control on dual carriageways. But on the twisty road through Ronda I would rather have been on the S.
Two up on the R I found the forks dipping on the breaks a surprise, I missed the telelever. And Jenny found the rear seat less spacious than the S .... interesting differences.
But anyway ... we still have the Diavels
