Well owned this for coming on 2 years and still enjoying it and using it more than the 1250 , only issue so far has been the fuel level sensor sticking after standing over the winter (twice) which is easily and cheaply
The bike is averaging 57 mpg and handling is excellent ,more than enough power and it will run rings around both the BMW's I own.
Only issue with it and the 1190 and 1290 versions I have ridden is the short pillion seat making it a bit cramped two up but other than that it is a superb bike
