In reply to Angus. Thanks Angus! Yes for sure, the HP version of the R model was perfect for me... Didn't ride an RS with the taller seat unfortunately. Jeff.

In reply to Glenn Puckeridge. Thanks Glenn, I'll hopefully have the R 1250 R video up today some time. The RT are pretty surprising, I know, but the ST gives a bit more of a sporty edge for you - of course the trade off is the touring comfort but in short, you would find throwing the ST around so easy after owning the RT!

Nicely pruduced review Geoff, well done. I have a late model R1200RT but am thinking of swapping it for something a little sportier. The RT actually handles pretty well for a big old girl. Would the ST be that much better?

In reply to Angus. Hi Angus, this one I tested was the exclusive too. Can I ask your height? As I mention, I found it cramped with the lower seat on this model. I'm 187cm and 100kg in gear. Yep, it's a bloody fantastic bike and that boxer motor is so full of character, makes it really fun to ride. Jeff.

I’ve had my R1250RS Exclusive with Dynamic ESA delivered late August & the suspension is perfect.
Loaded with 50kg in total throw over bags, going hard at it from the Bruxner Hwy through to Woodenbong, set on Road, it performed like a magic carpet ride.
The R1250RS is one seriously excellent piece of kit providing a very planted & quick riding experience with brilliant TFT connectivity & loaded with very unobtrusive safety electronics.
