Hello All,
I am currently considering picking up either a second-hand 1199SL or a second-hand 1299SL. Both similar mileage and good condition. Obviously the 1299SL comes out as the more expensive choice and is of course also a newer bike (2017 vs. 2014) with the more updated electronics package, QS upshift, carbon wheels etc. The 1199SL comes across as the more classic choice and (IMO) wins on looks.
I am looking to see if anyone on the forum have any experience riding/working on/owning both bikes as I am very curious to learn more about riding characteristics and what the expect choosing either. Should I imagine that it is simply a 1199R vs. a 1299R respectively, just lighter and faster or are there anything else with either bike which would make it your preferred choice?
This far I have mainly been riding 1199s and 1299R for reference.
Looking forward to any guidance, advise or thoughts from fellow members.
Thank you
