A m8 and me have just spent the day on a 1200s and 1200gs (demos)as they had no other peeps booked in we were able to have them for the whole day.
I took the gs first I won't bore you with the details on this as yr prolly more interested in the s
but will just say that I won't be part exing my 1150gs for one
the 1200s was fitted with a remus can it sounded awesome as it came flying past
when we swopped bikes halfway through the day I was so disappointed
I was exspecting a machine that was going to knock spots off the bird but it don't
the engine's buzzy, fuel injection's snatchy in town something they were supposed to have cured
riding position as first feels comfy and more upright than the bird but after a while my arms were aching which I don't get with the bird
seat was comfy though
controls light
very stable in mid corner
steering in felt heavy and reluctant to turnin but the front hoop was past it's prime
power wise for the road I prefer the bird which feels creemy smooth where the bm feels harsh and snatchy more like a suzukawacrappyyamhehe although looking at the speedo I thought I was doing 20mph less than I actually was
looks well the bird wins hands down
finish bird wins again
price--=----- ?11600 for the bm on the road with abs and heated grips another grand if you want the on board adjustable suspension
?10200 for the base model
It was raining and the weather protection was not as good as the bird
There's prolly more to say for and against it but I can't be bothered at the end of the day it's a beemer and will prolly apeal to beemer owners but buy one instead of my 8year ole bird with 45k on hmmmmmmm
no way dude
I'll buy a newer bird instead :lick: :lick: :lick:
