Thank you sir. I agree. I may not really want either one lol.
Have you tried Tommy Copper compression gloves? I also have arthritis pain my my hands, thumb joints, and the Tommy Copper compression gloves have worked wonders for me and extended my riding career. I still have a bit of discomfort especially at the end of a ride but the compression gloves have really worked for me in a big way.

It is, I can attest to that. Fact is you can sit bolt upright on it if you want, you simply slide your arse right forward. The only downside of the RR for an old bloke is your knees are up higher than on the Busa, but not by all that much. I was out tooling around on mine yesterday and while the riding position is more *compact*, better handling, faster cornering, it appears to have a lot more power too, no doubt because it only weighs 200kg wet. The Busa is 265kg.
The tank to butt_stop is the same on both, 340mm
I believe yours is a gen 1 S1K right?
I know the gen 2s are a little different yet very similar.
A neighbor had an M1K and it was quite a bike....he was pretty surprised that he couldn't leave my 'ol hippopotamus Bumblebee for dead.....I was right on his tail....

Haha the Busa’s feel like plush couch compared to the old girls.
Need some fresh colour on that.
That's a beauty.......back in the day of man and machine...

Ive had a few.
I’ve been stashing parts away for another.
This one may end up a bit more spicy.
maybe he was going easy on you
Mine is a Gen-3 2018 model. On them all the electronics came standard, it was the last of the early series (k46) before the k67 came out in 2000. The gen-4 was a reliability disaster and they still have issues with the new ones, but many riders now don't seem to care about super reliable bikes, they just want new bikes.

Before that he used to call my bike the "farm implement" afterward he had a little respect for it.
A bike from when Suzuki was on the cutting edge of bike design and performance....
I had 2 '85 750s in that color, one was a factory race bike, I got another in the same color to ride on the street...they were so light...
I would agree, the BMW felt more comfortable to me than the Ducati or any Japanese 1k.
It's footpegs have nice splined adjustments, and the bars feel taller and wider.
I think the newer BMW S1kR is more comfortable than the older ones.
I don't think the older ones had the adjustable footpegs, and the newer bars feel better.
A friend has this one, but had 2 of the previous models before it, as well as the one with the factory dirtbike bars.
