Made the move from a f800gt to the r1200rs as I've finally got time to do some proper touring. Loving the extra grunt from across the box as well as being a bit surprised how easy it is in traffic.

And some of us have them both!

Pre-Covid I was commuting 100 miles a day. The F800GT replaced a Honda Deauville NT700 after an RTA as my commuter bike.

The RS replaced a Moto Guzzi Stelvio as my leisure machine.
