Hi Folks, I'm seriously considering changing my Tiger 1200 XRT for a 20 plate R1250RS. The Tiger is a handful to move around when loaded up and chucks out an unbelievable amount of heat in anything over 25* ambient temperatures. I had a ride of a friend's bike recently and really liked the more engaged riding position of the RS - and oh that engine!

Welcome.

I got rid of my Triumph Explorer for the same reasons. I hardly used the Triumph as I also had the R1200RS at the same time. So much easier to get the RS in and out of the garage and a lot more pleasant in very hot weather. The low centre of gravity of the boxer engine is a major factor.

Nice, you move quick. Same colour is mine which I have had for about 3 months. Love it. I also have a Puig screen fitted in light smoke.
After having an XR, am liking having a bike a bit nearer to the ground! And that engine is awesome.
