Hello,

I took delivery of a slightly used R1250RS last week, which replaced a 2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 XRx. This winter is really going to suck.

I brought mine home on Groundhog day. All I could do was go out and look at it for over a month. It sucked. It was worth it. Welcome to the site.

Welcome to the site Paul.

Welcome,

Out of curiosity, what made you decide to swap away from the tiger? the Tiger was one of a few bikes I was cross shopping when I bought my RS.

The RS carries it weight low, sorry you have to wait so long to enjoy it. I came from a Yamaha Super Tenere and it was a welcome change going to the RS.
You have 3 months to set it up the way you want it.

I can answer this as I also had an Explorer XRx for a year 2017-18. Just too top heavy. Great WP suspension and a nice motor but ultimately, I was not getting it out of the garage very often as it was a heavy beast to wheel around. I always took my R1200RS unless it was a planned long trip. I swapped the XRx for an S1000XR, which complements the RS very well, gives me an upright riding position but not so top heavy.
