RE: Changes for 2021 - 2

Phew. Was worried they may have done a lupin 1250. That's saved me a fortune.

But, it is an achievement to make Austin Yellow less appealing.

We are very happy with our 2 austin yellow R1250RSses having the white frame. The fact that the 2021 frame is in matt black and the HP exhaust is no longer available keeps our bikes truly "Exclusive"!
Other changes like the "sport screen" are peanuts.

Comment relocated.

I bought my RS1250 at the end of October 2019. I was able to ride it for about 8 weeks. My collarbone did not improve from my "off" in July 19, and I had it plated and bolted in January. I was back on the bike by March. I then got from March to beginning of August before Covid-19 shut down Melbourne and I am waiting for new developments.

So what do I think would be good for 2021 models?

1. Have the dealers open for business. They are closed.

2. Put the "R" display as an option for the RS. It is more pleasing to me.

3. Get a reasonable graphic designer to work out colours, maybe pin-stripes and multiple colours - not just stickers. Honestly, I thought my Lupin with the Hornig red flashes was a much better looking bike. The Exclusive dark metallic blue is so dark, it can be mistaken for black. There is nothing wrong with the bike, it is the right shape, everything is where it should be - but it is more subdued that I would really like because of the colours.

When I got the R1250 RS I had the top box top section painted to match. I have not done anything about the panniers as I do not mount them very often. However, with the right (meaning kick / scuff proof) paint and a good overall design, I would spend the money on both the bike and the luggage.

I know I will have not have a hand in designing my casket or my urn, so I don't mind spending the money on the bike....

Lee, I expect this means a mechanism intended to limit the effect of a sudden downshift that might break the rear wheel free in conditions of limited traction, rain, for example. The existing features that limit wheel slippage, engine torque and brake pressure ABS controls, would of course not control the effects of rapid downshifting.
