RE: Merged thread: bye bye Brembo - 4

I feel the same way. My early RS engine's performance suits me perfectly. The 1250 sounds like more power, torque and maybe smoother...all good. The new display seems to be better ...all small incremental improvements. Not enough to move me.

The one thing that would drive me to replace my RS would be a significant suspension upgrade. True fully adjsutable front and rear with both compression and rebound control. Making the adaptive suspension with both of these controls with some AI and/or video/radar/lidar pot hole, corduroy , etc detection would be interesting. The for touring with heavy loads, would some spring preload adjustment of the front yeild good results beyond what is now done on the rear.

It seem only KTM (WORK PERFORMANCE), as a manufacturer could do this....but they really don't make a sport touring model and their engines are to highly tuned so their drivability is not as friendly as the RS.

Any one know if Ohlin is doing any research/ work along the line?

The GM patented magnitic system could be the basis for something like this. The exotics like it.

Suspension wise I can't fault mine,as I ride mostly two up its perfect, it's well documented on here what I think about the looks and colours of the 1250.
The remap has made a great bike even better,even two up it will leave more powerful bikes trailing the squiggly bits.

Remap? Hilltop?

No I disagree, nothing else floats my boat,there's nothing on the market that could tempt me to trade in my 1200.

Yes Peter indeed it was,despite the bollocks spread around by treetop Geoffs magic made a noticable difference to my RS.

Ah, nice to see this morph into a Hilltop thread - we’ve been missing one of those for a while !

I think I managed to miss most of the details of that bit of fun having only owned for 6 months or so. I gather they are a bit "Marmite"?!!!

Have you tried marmite peanut butter? It's delicious.

There's absolutely no need for any form of molestation on the shiftcam 1250 motor - it runs so sweetly at the low end you could dump it into a piping bag and ice a cake with it. Mmm cake.
