After 16 years on an SV650S I decided to change my bike and bought a 2 year old R1200RS Magellan Grey last weekend. How technology has moved on in 16 years, ABS, Cruise Control, etc. Really pleased with new bike it is absolutely amazing. I may be looking at the new R1250RS in 2020 if it has the TFT screen which I have experienced on an F850GS that I rode at local dealer. Now I need to decide if I really need Sat Nav particularly as I don't have it in the car.

Welcome!

Personally I'm a big fan of the Nav and the reason is not so much for the navigation, but for all the other features, such as the monitoring of systems and record keeping.
