Hi, I just registered on the other site to find that it could soon be gone, so therefore saying hello here with the exact same message. Hi everyone.
Hi everyone, just signed up as I am considering an RS for my next bike, lead candidate I think.
I currently own an S1000XR gen 1 which I have had for 5 years. Getting a bit tired of the exceedingly shouty engine, and fancy a twin with lots of low down torque. Also want something less top heavy.
I test rode an RS yesterday, loved the shift cam engine. The quickshifter was not bad, I owned a R1200GS before the XR and the shifter is better than I remember on that. Didn’t like the more forward lean and the wind noise and buffeting off the screen (in both positions). Both of those can be easily rectified. Also noticed very poor steering lock, would welcome thoughts on this.
My riding tends to be the odd short run, all day rides and the occasional 4 or 5 day tour.
My test ride was only an hour as didn’t have any longer, will get on one again if I can.
