Morning all ,toying with the idea of upgrading my 2008 hexhead to a 1200 or 1250 ,I know all the on paper differences between the 3 but would value opinion of those who have ridden all of them.
Firstly engine smoothness, particularly in the 4k to 5k range in top ( the rough bit on my 2008 )is the 1200lc smoother ? and is the 1250 any smoother than the 1200?
Secondly suspension, is the dynamic ESA any better on rough B roads
Than the manually adjustable ESA on a hexhead ?I do like suspension that absorbs bumps well ,too old to have me bones rattled nowadays . There some very nice low mileage 1200s around even with TFT on later models ,is the 1250 THAT much better ? I will be test riding once I've sold one of my bikes to make space (and money)
Thanks in advance .Ian
