Well ... thats definitely swung it for me. I always thought the 1200 looked a bit naff, but that differently shaped bit of plastic is awesome.
The way it, and the new sexy bolt configuration, just pulls it all together and gives a feeling of solidity and total function just blows me away.
The front of my pants would now ...at this moment, register 6 on a damp pant meter scale. And the scale only goes up to 6.5. WOW.
Nothing has ever had this affect on me since the Vauxhall Viva revamp in 1967. ... You know .... when they fitted square headlamps.
I dont know who these german designers are, but the next time the Nobel piece Prize tournament is held, and regardless of the venue, I will be there holding a banner for them. It shouldnt be termed a 'piece'. Its art man. It should have an 'art number', not a part number.
I will have to rest now.
