Hi all, looking at picking up an R1250RS for commuting on a 120km round trip
Currently have a K1300S and a Panigale V4, looking to trade the K1300 for the R1250RS
Previous bikes were R1200RT, F800ST, Ducati 999 biposta, Ducati 999 monoposta, Yam FZR1000 exup, Suzuki RG125 FUN, Suzuki RG 80, Honda C50, Jialing 50
Looking to get some info on weather protection for the winter, possibly hand guards and a heated seat, really liked the heated seat on the RT

Stay safe

Hello & welcome.

For winter commuting, I have fitted Barkbuster Storm Handguards and Tucano Urbano bar muffs. With the heated grips these keep my hands warm & dry. I hate putting on cold, damp gloves to ride home in the evening. This is on a 1200. Pictures on here somewhere.

For longer winter rides I use Keis heated waistcoat and Keis heated insoles.
