When back, the salesman was already started to make an offer for the new RS, and now it is ordered for delivery next spring. Living in Norway, it will be some months without riding, and the just wait for the new one in the spring . . . So Grumpy, I decided otherwise and made the change.
Lars - Congratulations on the new bike and on the engine upgrade.Hey as long as it's an RS you made a great choice.
What convinced you to make the change?
What colour did you get? Maybe you differed with me on that too and got the Austin Yellow ...
I chose the Black Storm as the others in my eyes does look a bit odd. My current RS1200 is the Grey/Black from 2015. In addition I deliver the "old" RS1200 with 3x Grey/Black boxes and have the new RS1250 delivered with 3x Black boxes as this now is an option.
And the simple reason for changing is the fact that I have a bike which will be 5 years in the spring 2020, so it makes sense to change to new bike for warranty-reasons. In addition I like the new engine, the improved DRL as it is more visible than the single strip of my current RS , and the new TFT-disply is a real improvement both visually and for a number of technical reasons of the possibilities you have.
And I got an offer better than I thought I would get . . .
