1290 GT just unveiled in Milan :





Early pics so crap quality.

I wonder if the 1290 SA will come in a more interesting colour than previously ?
 
I like the look of that :)

I read that there are no colour changes for the SA.

There is a new digital dash being introduced across the range. Maybe not all in 2016 though?
It doesn't look great from the 1 pic I've seen.
 
Looks good, I wonder what the seat height is? Is that the oil cooler slung low to catch the crap off the front wheel?

Nice 'n' Fat is correct - the oil cooler is the black rectangle on the side of the engine nestling in the curve of the rad hose.

Could be a hoover pipe for sucking up all the XRs....

Seat height 835mm.

Now on UK website here.

And yup,1290 SA looks unchanged !
 
This bit made me chortle :D

The 1290 Super Duke R got us thinking. What if we could match The Beast’s interstellar performance to all day, two-up comfort?

Not if you're going to keep that seat from the 1290 Super Duke you're not :augie
 
Redline in Loughborough are now taking deposits, bike is £15999
 
Are you getting one?

Well, I've sold this .

To buy this, I wanted a Pikes Peak

But it ain't worth £19k, it's a step back, manual ohlins ! No Q-shifter, it's just a paint job and a splash of carbon.

So the 1290 might just be what I'm looking for less orange tho.

Isn't the PP just a paint job? Why not just put those panels on the bike with all the stuff you want?

There's a bit more to it than a paint job ! if you wanted to do a pp replica you would be better off buying a non S multi @ £11995 then the S-model as per mine.
