It was all going so well until I realised that he was reminding me more and more of Donald Trump...

I couldn't take more than 30 seconds of him talking to camera. Annoying affectation of elongating words.

Funny thing is, the SDGT was the bike I was directly comparing to the RS. I rode that first a couple weeks prior to the test ride on the RS.

Halfway through the demo on the SDGT my right hand went numb from the vibrations. Literally pins and needles painful numb. Seating position was good but the seat was rock hard. Suspension was good but nothing as plush as the RS. Windscreen seemed the same on both, not really an issue for me. SDGT seemed fun and fast but not tame. It reminded me of my Diavel that always wanted to be revved out and hitting 100+. I didnt want something like that. The RS fit the bill perfectly for me and its wicked fast when I want it to be but super casual comfortable all the other time.

Another thing is that unless it's been fixed for 2019 the SDGT is a bit more cumbersome in its electronics, e.g. filtering through menus to change the heated grips, and it can't change modes except if the bike is stopped.

RS looks better in my opinion, too.

I like this guy's reviews. OK...maybe his style irritates some, but I think he's got great delivery for a self-made video. He obviously knows his stuff.

So...is he right? Does the RS have vibes in the bars in cruising rpm? Is the windscreen inadequate? I guess asking a new owner these questions is not going to get an affirmation, since who wants to say anything negative about a new bike...but had to ask.

The new Nov issue of Ride Magazine has a road test on the 1250RS
