Anyone test-ridden the new 1250 GS yet ?

Warlord a little bit more or less fuel can never make up for 2 different cam lobes one optimized for torque / the other for power , 2 mm more bore and 3 mm more stroke...don't kid yourself ! Where the old bike lacks nid-range and feels flat the new one will go even if only 11 hp more will make maybe 5 mph difference or less in top-speed,you will get there much faster !

Warlord...Same here in Cali...absolute sh*t pot-holed roads...way worse than mexico...On top of that LEO's everywhere enforcing ridiculously low speed limits...land of the free...

The new 1250 has loads more bottom end and mid range which makes it a lot faster when driving 90% of the time. When you do rev it harder above 6k it has a good bit more top end which is nice for the other 10% of the riding.
Take a demo out you will feel this straight away. Another plus point is the brakes which have more bite and feel better overall and the Engine is smoother and a lot quieter. The new Bridgestones are miles better than the A3's
So in summary it's faster, stops better, quieter and smoother. My 2018 Rallye TE has now been traded for a Rallye HP TE with factory fit Akropovic

How else does a bet work then ?
Have you ordered it already ???

Yep, order placed

 

[Warlord]

You lot are truly deluded

If you raced a 1200 and a 1250 over a quarter mile at Santa Pod, you'd be lucky to get half a second difference.

Even a full one second over quarter mile, up into 3 figures is like two snaps of your fingers apart.

It'll make NO DIFFERENCE in real life road riding.

This new engine is nothing more than a paperwork excercise to keep up with the Jones's

Or in the for sale section, at least we know Nutty looks after his bikes, so bonus for someone, IF.

 

[Mark Hooton]

Oh yeah, Nuts does look after them to give him credit
