Had a manual model for two years. Lovely bike with lots of power. Be careful though can get you in trouble. Followed a line of four cars doing 30mph for 2 miles in a 60 zone. Checked clear and opened up ...was doing 75 in no time when the fourth car started turning right in order to turn into track. My life was out of my hands...could never have stopped all that weigh in time. Luckily he saw my lights in his mirror and slammeded brakes on...I shot past him in a moment. I wasn't in a rush....but can change in a moment.
100 percent agree they do pick up really fast they are a really powerful bike in the wrong hands ie a beginner rider could be dangerous yet a easy bike to ride
The 1200 is a lot more powerful as you could imagine but handles the extra weight brilliant it's a fantastic bike you should try and get out on a test ride if you can
