RE: Hard decision . Tricked out 2016 1200 or a relatively stock 1250 ? - 2

Lower gear?

We have had the 1200/1250 argument several times but I do not think the 1250 is worth a 5 or 6k premium on a decent 1200. I can take 3 decent trips to Spain for that sort of money.

buy the newest one

2022, new, zero miles, full warranty $18K

$2K off list. That's reasonable

The list price on our 2022 White Sport RSs was $19,640. This included a extra $250 for the rear rack and Sport seat that the Sioux Falls bike doesn't have.
The Sioux Falls bike might have a higher shipping charge. Our was $495. The shipping charge went up sometime in 2022.

I think it depends on how you plan to ride it or use it. Using extremes: are you putting around town or along a country road on a Sunday ride? Or are you hanging off in corners, tearing up mountains or canyons?

If you don’t need the benefits the 1250 engine brings, save the cash and get the goodies. The suspension upgrades are noteworthy. The rest - meh, imo. As those are personal touches you may or may not find fit you.

If you haven’t ridden both motors, that’s a must. I didn’t care much for the 1200 (admittedly never got to ride an RS model w 1200) but was smitten with 1250.

My two cents: the 1200 and money saved is good for my first example. The 1250 and budgeting for your own goodies after 10-20k mi is better for option two.

Bah! That’s hardly ANY Carbon Fibre. I (by rights should own Ilmberger).

What’s the mileage ? BMW only warranties ESA shocks for 30,000 miles in UK

After months of internal debate , a long 7159 mile trip on my Tiger120xcx , and telling the wife what I wanted / why .
Ordered a 2023 R1250RS in white .
Tubular handle bars
Tall sport seat
Option 519 leavers / rear sets ( for the adjustable foot pegs as they are clones of Gilles tooling )
premium package
GPS
Rear rack / top case
Extra locks for side cases in future
I currently own nice Shad 3p cases , and wanted to keep my payment in budget line .

Not sure when it will arrive

It’s not the torque argument, didn’t use it all on the 1200, don’t use it all on the 1250! It’s the colour! Grey is the new beige and who the hell wants a beige motorcycle? (Ok ok my current one is Austin Yellow so what do I know?)
