I've tried both the 1200 and 1250 RS's and liked them both, especially when compared to the likes of the z1000 sx. However for me being a short arse with short arms I just couldn't get on with the reach to the bars which meant I was leant forward quite a bit which compromised the all round visibility when compared to the GS which for me is important. I know you can put risers on them but I wasn't prepared to risk it just in case I still found they didn't work for me. I did like the lupin blue 1200 colour scheme though.
