2022 R1250RS (2400 miles) Loaded Build - MINT - Cambridge, MA ($15,995) - SOLD

Just curious ... why / how come you bought the RS in the first place? Did you not try it on for size before buying? Given your seating preference the GS would seem to be a better fit.

The 2020 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is quite the bike on paper and I'm sure would be a lot of fun to ride as an ADV-style tourer. No real comparison with the RS, aside from the fact that they are both seen as "tourers" or one type or another. I almost bought a 2023 KTM 890 Adventure (not the R) but was not impressed by the build quality and the reliability reputation (especially electronics) seemed like too much drama for me to be interested in. It also seemed to be less of a long-distance tourer than I wanted.
