After owning an 02 R1100S in the past, I just picked up it's newer sibling yesterday. 2016 premium with 3700 miles, risers, slip-on and Givi luggage. Wished I could have held out for a newer one with TFT display and all, but happy that this was a good deal.

Welcome. You have the better bike. Colour telly thing is over-rated. Half the threads on this forum are about the telly thing not talking to some other pocket telly thing.

Great colour! Obviously you are a person of discerning taste. Much better than the crappy Lupin Blue.

Granite grey and black...tres elegant. You seem to have gotten a few extras with it, too...

Well there may be communications issues with that telly thing, but on the plus side it's in glorious Technicolor, easier to read than that of the 1200RS and fronts a mighty fine engine 😃. So worth an upgrade in a few years.

It is not the "colour telly" at fault. It is the software driving it and those who have the latest software report no difficulties.

As for reports of TFTs being stolen (mentioned in another post) I have yet to come across anybody who has had one stolen off an RS either on this site or elsewhere.

P.S. There is nothing wrong with the 1200RS as long as you have good eyesight!
