R12 G/S Enduro

With the factory shutdown imminent, was quoted a couple of months to get a specced bike today.
 
How much difference does the pipe make, have you taken the baffle out ? Please let us know how the Rallye fairing compares to the original when it arrives 👍

I’ve not fitted the Akrapovic yet , the baffle is not removable (or at least not without drilling out pop rivets , removing the carbon fibre end piece and the drilling out spot welds) so I’ll be leaving it as is

I’m picking up the Rallye fairing on Friday

going to be a special bike is that, health to enjoy mate
 
Went to the ABR looking forward to seeing the DR-Z and F450GS (no show) but it was the the 12G/S that I really liked.

Be interested in hearing feedback re the suspension..really liked my R9T Urban and this seems like it’s big brother
 
I liked everything about the Urban except the suspension hence hoping the G/S won’t need the same post purchase upgrades
I feel the same. My Urban is great and I can’t see this new one being 3 times better.
 
I am sure it is 3x better
For a start ….it’s way far better looking
Not for me looks wise, it’s too contrived.
You can get a good Urban for £6k and I don’t see this new one being 3 times better in any area.

You liked the suspension on the Tirban??

ah - that makes sense. Similar experience…

1.Suspension for starters
2.It has Mudguards front and rear
3.off-road spec & 21/18 wheels

All those are massive improvements over the Urban
 
Most people change the suspension and it’s hardly an off road machine so the 21” front wheel is irrelevant.
The first gen R9T was an analogue retro bike, the new one has modes/cruise/shift assist/TFT/wonder wheel etc which makes it closer to the GS but not as capable.
Good job we’re all different.
 
What price does the Akrapovic come in at please?

Have you come across any good crash bars yet?
