I ride 2019 1260S and there is no knob to turn before firing. The place of the knob is covered, and there is a button underneath that used just in case you need to enter PIN code. What is the difference? Both keyless.
I had a 2015 1200S MS. The Skyhook suspension was a joke - it just wanted to do tank slappies - a Ducati that doesn't handle, doh. The throttle maps meant that any little old lady in a Prius could out drag me at the lights - simply dangerous. Parts, like the clutch slave cylinder are made out of cocoa tin and leak all the time. I did an oil change at 5,000 miles and found the drain bolt magnet covered in bits of steel up to 1/4 inch long. How journalists have the nerve to praise such a piece of junk is beyond me.
dalton knox I bought a 2011 with 40.000 miles on it , it is a fantastic bike !!! Turned 79.000 miles last week. Riding to breakfast in a hour . Have had no problems! 😄😄😄😄😎😎😎Just sayin
