The bars put my wrists at an odd angle, and no way to change that.
Found the dash very busy........too much info and hard to see the tach part of the dash.
Windshield was not powered, started the ride with it in the high position and lowered it due to turbulence at higher speeds.
With all the adjustments on the suspension, I could not get a setting I liked....was really happy to get back on my 12S with the Ohlins set up nicely.
Worst thing was the transmission.....reminded me of my 1982 R100 with how clunky it was. That could get better with more mileage??

Did it have optional quick shift? I sat on /looked over a 1200RS yesterday..ride booked, was interested also in R1200R or Nine T sure now unfaired bike would be too uncomfortable.
