I would just like to say thanks for the help, pre-owned parts and banter I've had from this forum. But I have now traded my Lupin Blue RS for a Triple Black GSA.
Bye for now. I still love the RS, but we all need a change now and again 😉
Ride safe boys👍

Enjoy the GSA. Change is not only good, it's essential for a healthy life. How about reporting back here after you've lived with the GSA for a while?...you might convert some others, or give them a reason to love their RS even more (lol!).

Is the GSA a '24 model 1300cc bike?

No Bearr, my pension pot wouldn't allow that expenditure. 😉 Its a just a 1200GSA Triple Black with the TFT screen. 6k on the clock and never riden in the rain. My RS was very comfy, but the GSA is another level ergonomicly.

Did it complain when it got wet while you took it's picture :)
Did the 1200GSA get the TFT in 2018?

I no longer subscribe to UKGSer so I don't see the worst of the bickering.

Yes it did get the TFT Lee. I think that's what clinched it for me. I would have liked a 1250 for that reason but Couldn't find one for the price I was happy with.

Looks like you're Local to me! Chris at HH replaced both my tyres last year, they seem to have decent stock in there, good luck with it.

Learnt something there - thought the TFT came in with the 1250 engine across the range ( I know it was never on the 1200RS). I have to admit that the clarity of the TFT has been a big bonus of changing to the 1250RS from the 1200. Most other things are very similar.

I have to say I was never impressed with the instrument choises on the RS. The analogue speedo should have been a tacho.
