You know it makes sense

Yeah I have a 1260 PP , got it at a year old with a termi system , I've also had a 1200S DVT
Took it to Austria this year , It's a really nice bike.
I find it a step up from the DVT in almost every way , particularly the Ohlins ( After a trip to Barnsley).
It sounds superb through the QS with a system on it.
I've been running it with most of the anti-wheelie and TC turned off , and its the perfect bike for making you smile.
Looks like its going to be replaced by the V4 streetfighter so the residuals shouldn't be as bad either , though I wasn't bothered about that so much. I just wanted one and after 5000 miles and 4 months of ownership I have no regrets and its nice having something special ( in my head at least)
Down side I would say so far
Standard seat is wank for long days , it pushes your pelvis forward so you crush your balls a bit ( I use an airhawk , which transforms it)
QS under load between 5th & 6th isn't very good ( They have no fix) .
some of the bolts , banjo fittings aren't the best.

Thanks that’s great feedback. 
I had a 1200 and it was completely bonkers. 100mph on the back wheel.
Went for the Multi Enduro instead.
Fits me better.
Great colour . Mr Vanity won’t like it .
Oops, he’s already said as much

Says Mr Narcissist
That's a lovely bike, Tricky. I've got the same one but in red. Makes me laugh uncontrollably every time I go out on it. Not as smooth and silky or as civilised as the GS, or even as fully accomplished as the GS, but it certainly rejuvenates any missing mojo.

After a succession of GSs it is certainly more fun... and different.

The colour is sand (like the desert)

The engine is certainly elastic... like the waistband of my M&S trousers.

That’s a nice set up. What panniers are those?
