Even as a toy the RS can't win.

Nice.
Looked very hard at this technologically outdated model in 2014 and 2015, well, until I rode the RS.
I did like the K1300S foot pegs, however, and bought those....

Bet you those footpegs cost way more than this bike, which was just under $100 ....

Got me using my phone without my glasses.. I guess I should have paused a little on Lee's note.

Nice, GG!
I've heard Dunlop is working on a version of the tire, as on your potential new steed. Apparently the holes in the sidewall allow the inflation air to stay at ambient temperature, providing more consistent handling and longer tread life.
