I put 6k miles on a KTM SuperDuke R, the naked bike, it had a simple TFT display and it used 4-arrows to go through the display and select settings, the KTM GT also uses this system. The new 1250 RS uses some version of this (which I have not explored). But I love the handlebar buttons on my 1200 RS, I can select all I want without going through a menu. I hope BMW didn't screw this up on the 1250 RS with the TFT display. Just one example: heated grips: dedicated button on the 1200 RS vs several push button of the arrow to select on the KTM. How is the new 1250RS on this?
The QS on my KTM worked smoother than on my RS.
The engine vibrations on my KTM were different than on my RS, and maybe just a tiny bit better.
This guy must ride more aggressively than I do if he dragged the center stand on the RS, I cannot think of another reason for his handling and braking performance comments on the RS.
He doesn't value the shaft drive on the RS, I guess, if he didn't "nitpick" the chain on the KTM. This also accounts for some of the weight.
Bottom line, nitpicks and only nitpicks. the BMW RS and the KTM GT are both great bikes.
