    Hello, I had a daytonas 675 as my first bike a few years ago, absolutely loved it. I then got a brand new S1000rr that I had for 5 years until Monday when It was sold. I'm now looking at a few options but two that I'm looking at is the 1050 and also the 1200 rs. Both 2nd hand. Is there a big difference between the 2 and is one a lot better than the other?

    Thanks

    Ste

    Hi Ste and welcome to the forum. As a 1050 RS owner I might be biased but I would thoroughly recommend one:grinning:

    Hi there!
    Welcome to the forum! ;)
    There are some performance differences. HP, torque are higher at the 1200 RS. The fuel tank of the 1050 RS is much bigger.
    Some of this points may give you a help for your decision.;)
