After trying a Low chassis GSA and not getting on with it, due to its wt. I then bought an Indian FTR. So after seeing the error of my ways, I just bought a R1250RS set. It's like putting on an old pair of slippers. Loving it. 😎
Looking for 2nd hand farkles now😉

Welcome back.

Have you still got the Indian? I would be tempted by one of those FTR but it would mean selling my 1250R and I'm not doing that

Ride it like you're late for an appointment

No. I traded the FTR in. Great bike, but they are really a 2nd bike. I have no room or finances for 2 bikes. Went to a Bike Meet tonight and there were 3 FTRs there. All different. 😎
Loving the Smoothness, quality and Torque of the RS though

Welcome back

I admire your mission to keep motorcycle dealers and the tax office in business
