Recent RS owner in stealth black coming from an 2016 R1200R LC.
Bike is in Sport SE spec, standard at the moment but I have a box full of accessories off the old bike to fit.
Initial impressions are how smooth the gearbox is and the lack of wind on my shoulders.
I probably won't be a frequent poster but will be checking the forum regularly gor hints and tips.

Many thanks for your welcomes.
I am of course now regretting my purchase as it seems I have missed out on becoming a riding god and having supermodels throwing themselves at me because I ride the inferior black model. 😄

I think he means "faster" as it might be the fastest of those bikes currently available as a new bike

anyone with a modicum of sense knows the Euro 3, lupin blues are faster - it's a matter of physics. Bravo will be along with the equations that prove the matter.
