Yes it has the TFT screen and more electronics if you want that and the upgraded engine/transmission, but is that enough to get rid of my 16 R1200, not for me.
Yes, it is more like a first ride review targeted more for the person unfamiliar with the RS, and not a thorough comparison review for those who already have the bike. I don't have the wherewithal to upgrade an expensive bike to the latest iteration based on subtle differences. I tend to buy a whole different bike for a truly different experience so I would likely keep my 2016 if I am to stay with an RS (especially now that they have acknowledged their driveshaft screwup).
