I tried a similar change some years ago...
Changed from a 1200RT to a 1200R (Classic). These were both air/oil cooled, pre LC bikes. The 1200R was great for short (half day) rides in the Peak and similar, but absolutely hopeless on longer rides or tours. I rode it down to the South of Spain with the mrs on the back. We both grew to hate it. Uncomfortable after a few hours, lots of wind noise, poor at carrying luggage, etc. She got the train home and my hate for the bike doubled with every mile!
Sold it asap and went to a GSA... and never looked back!
THE 1200R was easier to move around the garage, and looked nice I suppose.
