Zitat von TenCats im Beitrag #19Zitat von PeteT im Beitrag #15 Doh, bumped something, posted by accident, spent ages editing, then it tells me I can't post an edit if somebody has since posted a reply!😨 Was about to say...I was hoping to see a standard Nav mount that positions the GPS above the dash. The MV solution seems ideal and looks OEM. The R gets optional lower handlebars but not the more sporting RS? Disappointing, and for me a significant and needless compromise considering the cost of the bike. I really believe lack of adjustment is why this bike has never sold well. Plenty of options for pegs and bars if you want upright touring ergonomics but frustrating if you're after a more sporting stance. 4 colours this year! Last year I did come to appreciate the bronze. This year's brown might be a stretch though. The dark blue is a safe colour, certainly understated compared to the much-loved lupins. I do like the yellow but doesn't match my helmet. And I hope the black can be had with the gold calipers and belly fairing (silver?...and a tin of matt black). Panniers? I'm betting they're grey again. Hope I'm wrong. Some electronic enhancements and styling tweaks mean there's more on offer than just the engine and overall the new model looks pretty interesting. |

I like the updates that have been done. I’m also hopeful about the possibility of an updated nav mount, but I bet it doesn’t happen. The TFT display, which I really like, is larger than our current display. Everything else about the cockpit of the bike is seemingly the same, I’ll be surprised if they’d try to wedge the mount in an even smaller area above the display. If the bags are unchanged, it would be an option for current owners to re-key their bags to the 1250. Only two of the four colors are even remotely a consideration for me. |

I am pleased to see TFT although where it sits means I cannot see where a sat nav goes, blue looks good though I am strangely looking at the brown with the yellow bits (must be going through a stage). has anyone notice that page 2 seems to extend across the page so you have to scroll right?
