The first published test comparlng 1250 to 1200 gave a slightly shorter stopping distance in favour of the 1200. They did one test with one run only, and their own comment was that the small difference was insignificant.
The bikes had different tires, and unless they use a GPS with recording, 0,1 sec delay of brake aplication would make up the difference.
Both systems are quite capable of locking the wheel, thus it's up to the tyre and ABS computer to do the job.
Since both bikes are using same type of ABS computer, for all practical purpose their braking ability will be similar.
Even if the new brakes feels like having a better bite, the Brembos are still quite capable to lock up the front wheel with perhaps slightly more effort.
I suspect the major difference when comparing stopping distance. will be the tires.
Actually, you might not. 50cmExactly. Plus we all ride differently brake differently etc, etc. 50cm difference in braking distance, I can live with that.

That's the difference between;
Fuck that was close.

My new year resolution, in joke for bombers.I suggest eating less pies.
Less mass to bring to a stop equates to lesser stopping distance

Interesting is the comments made by selection of GS owners including our very own Sgt Bilco. One owner noted how better the test bike feels that the dealer bike.

They are all good from 2004 up to Shiftcam.
It is all about boys toys and we like our toys.
If it was about speed a 15 year old Fazer would blow them both away.
Not like manufacturers to ensure that any "test" bike is at its optimum or better !Running on higher octane fuel, colder or warmer air temps, tyre pressure variations, tyre type and tread depth/profile wear, cleaner engine oil, engine run in better, suspension setting variations, engine power mode setting variations, amongst natural variations in engine performance.... and rider awareness/disposition.
No two bikes or conditions are identical
I take it you still want one then
Must add , I think I will retro fit the original Brembro front as I feel this is a down grade with the new calipers as I already get brake fade with the Brembro so the new two part may fade faster due to flex.
Do you reckon a transfer would work without screwing the abs or hill hold?
IF I pulled the trigger on a new GSA I would consider asking them to transfer my nice gold Brembos over.
There's a set of R1200 Brembo's on eBay at the moment going cheap.... calipers and pads
