Went a r1200r today, and was very impressed - seemed as quick as the R100r from mid range, with none of the downsides.
Power differences aside, the engine felt so much smoother (and less rattlly) than my GS - gearbox felt a bit better too. The bike has 2.8k on the clock, my GS has just .8k. Is the felt difference mainly down to one bike being more run in, or is there another reason? Or should I be concern about my GS?! Would be interested in reading around any engine configuration differences should somebody be able to steer me in the right direction.
