  14. I’m on my second, as some on here know.

    Last six bikes, in order:

    Gsxr 1000k8
    2013 Multistrada 1200
    S1000r
    2013 R1200gs
    2016 KTM1290 gt
    2017 R1200gs rallye

    The Ducati engine was peach, the package flawed with poor build quality and materials, along with high speed handling issues.
    S1000r blistering quick on smooth roads.
    Later KTM gt supposed to be much improved, it needs to be. Mine had too many flaws.
    R1200gs..best allround package. Quick. Comfy.
    Mrs on back of the multi, German autobahn, 90mph and couldnt hear on intercom plus windblast.
    GS at 120, can you hear me? Yes, why? Lol

    Mpg, laughed at the 400 mile remark..must be the bigger tanked (tank) adventure version. Warning light will come on between 130 and 200 miles depends who your riding with on the standard gs. o_O

    I haven't tried the 1250, no doubt improved performance, no shortage of go with the 1200.

    A late 1200 with the new dash would be my choice as the analogue/digi dash is bit old school. All the info is there the the tft is an improvement. Would also buy from a dealer for the BM warranty.
    2017 on will have improved gear change due to a transmission revision, which also improves quickshifter operation.

  15. I’ve reread this as found it interesting.

    Then I’ve had to give myself a strict talking to as I’m only approaching my 6th decade.

  19. I hope its the standard GS. Adv too big.
    Switch everything to dynamic, get an extended ride, gas it down your favourite back roads as well.
