I’d remove that photo if I were you, as it’s got your address on.

I think it's a mistake to think that the S is better if you just ride roads. Certainly in my case I found the 1190R superior to the "S" in every respect except perhaps ultimate grip. I say perhaps as I have not found that point.
I'd pay £1000 extra for the 1290SAR over the S if i had to. £1000 less - Bargain! Fuck the resale anyway. Life's too short. Being a KTM it won't be that great anyway.

I’ve had an 1190S, 1290GT and 1290S.
For me the GT suspension was too hard and unresponsive unless flat out on smooth roads then it was good. The 1190S was better but the 1290S is excellent and copes far better with pillion and luggage than any other bike I’ve owned once I’d had the dealer increase the preload on the shock.
A journalist mate rates the 1290S as his personal best bike of the year.

Cheers Rasher.....Premier have the black S and did a good deal plus 20% of all extra bits.....couldnt decide R or S but finally went for black S with farkles....
Thought the smaller wider front wheel may be better for road use which i do 98% of the time....did like the ride on the R tho....arghhhhh....
Anyway....should be crossing the line on Saturday to become a KTM,er........keeping the gsa lc tho.......
Thanks guys for your help......
I am not around this Saturday, otherwise it would of been great to have met up when you come to collect, but if you come back down for the 1st service let me know and I will come along and say hello.

Stick it in your kitchen cupboard as I doubt you'll ever need it 
Get rid of the recirculating charcoal filter black box under the pillion seat and put the tool kit there. You’ll find the bottle opener invaluable

...............always comes in handy when out riding with mates on BMW's

It frees you up from any warranty
