    On the mend and only the ribs and knuckles still giving me a bit of grief. It actually handled better than stock and was quicker to turn in but was less flickable.

    Steve the 1250 James was referring to is the current 2018/2019 release, the bike your refering to is a 1200. The new 1250 is a truly great bit of kit with improved motor, nothing wrong with the older model though

    Yes you are right mate I read 1200 not 1250 haha. Yeah they have a few more refinements but some have said they are too smooth now, probably ex Harley riders like me lol.

    thanks James, I have watched so much YouTube lately while waiting for the insurance money to come thru haha. I've had 2 other Beemers before this one. The first was a K1600GTL that sounded like a sports car once I fitted aftermarket cans to it. It was just too top heavy for a short arse like me. The 2nd was a 2016 R1200RS, it was a great bike and did everything very well but I got bored with it fairly quickly, that when I sold it and got onto the last Street Glide. Hopefully being able to go offroad sometimes with this one I won't get bored with it too quick.
