We had three in our small club but one guy (no taller the 5'8") could not get comfortable even with Bar risers and has swapped back to a GS. the other two owners really like them (although one who is in his mid 60's has also had risers fitted).

It's too difficult convincing myself that the electronic gadgets and improved luggage and engine is worth 3 times my R11S...

Trying with the slightly illogical argument that "I'm worth it" but failing, but persistence might prevail, the brainwashing has barely commenced yet...

I've had my RS12 for 13 months and 6,300 miles. Loving every minute.
It does all I need to do. From track sessions to a Germany trip last year.
All day comfortable with cruise control, hot grips and quick shift. I'm considering a suspension upgrade (non-ESA).

I gave my BCR toy a spin 2 days ago and was looking for a clutchless gear change. Silly me. The RS12 is all the bike I'll ever need so one has to go!!
New tyres fitted yesterday so hoping for a bit of sunshine in next few days to scrub them in. A track session booked for the 27th and hoping for a "pass out" to catch a ferry in September. Roll on summer.

Agree on the R12RS but, sorry to point out - summer's been and gone. It happened last Tuesday - sorry if you have to work :(

Also , with all the grief in France currently Im looking West for my ferries at the moment as in Ireland. As of today armed patrols on Cross Channel ferries. That is no coincidence and suggests some knows something :shock:

So, wait for a few hours in a queue at Dover and then become a sitting target on a boat - reminds me of the war :D

No, the Wild Atlantic Way or a short hop to the IOM look very attractive right now :roll:

How come you are replacing the shocks?
