A recently found one, from across the pond.

I didn't care much for the Tory Party Conference colours (there are three shades of blue metallic available) but the red one is very tasty what with its burnished gold wheels.



Nice bike the KRS, very good at sustained high speeds and definitely the tourer of choice compared to the 1100LT.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it would be the tourer of choice - except for the drive shaft... :wink:

I heard the ones from the LT's last longer due to the lesser forces applied to them, that's why I got one from an LT as a replacement! :lol:

Jim, I seem to remember Steve saying that he enjoyed the ride of the LT even as the pillion(or the other name :lol: ) :wink:

Not to put a damper on J.O.'s and M.O.'s riding habits, but did anyone else notice the published spec's listing the GVWR at 1063lbs for the RS and 1103lbs for the LT.

Either one a little light for his posted 1200 scale wt.
Don't suppose this might have some impact on his tire issues? :?
Ride safe.
