Hi all

Thought I'd post this up. So after much deliberation (believe me!!!) I decided to take a 1200 RS for a test ride and ended up buying one. Got a brand new one in black and I'm now about five weeks (900 miles now) into ownership. At first I was wondering whether I'd made the right decision as the usual new bike niggles and also obviously running it in. However now that's pretty much out of the way, the 600 mile service done and I can start riding it properly.....oh Lordy. I'm so glad I made the jump!!

A few mods done to it:

• Evotech tail tide
• Smaller mirrors
• Fly screen
• Carbon (rad covers, hugger, side and front lower cowls, heel plates, upper and lower chain guards - silencer and tank inserts on their way)
• Rad guard
• Pro-Race exhaust - makes a loverly, but not obnoxious sound if anyone is thinking about getting one

All in all couldn't be happier and my god does it fly!!

Congrats on the new bike. Glad to see someone buying the new 1200. I thought there would be a lot of people buying them and a ton of activity on this site but not so far.

congrats on the new bike! what's going on with the exhaust-aftermarket silencer? Is there an Arrow exhaust kit for this model yet?

I bought a1200 RS last year after owning 2 1050’s and ive been on this site for many years…its not the place it was and its not the place for ‘up to date info‘ on the 1200 unfortunately.

I have actually asked to make a new section for the 1200 under the ‘model year discussion board’ under garage…without success
