So after years of teasing BMW guys and razing around on sportsbikes I've become that guy I used to annoy.
I was blating about on a tuned KTM 790 Duke and I planned a long tour to France with a friend meaning I needed something more practical.
After a load of bike shopping (came very close to buying an MV Agusta Turismo!), I noticed a 2017 R1200RS advertised locally. Hmm. It looked great and some research showed these things are loaded with all the tech and are actually a hidden gem. The crazy Lithuanian let me test ride it and it was good as people said.
I've had it about a month and, yeah that thing is bloody amazing.
