Author Topic: 1200 LC Trophy edition (Read 11985 times)

Hi Guys

I have seen quite a few trophy editions up for sale lately... So there is an itch developing on my side to "upgrade" my 2012 airhead.

I would like to hear from the normal lc owners how often they use the esa suspension? As it is not installed on the trophy, will I miss it?

Also, the trophy has only road and rain riding modes, so I will not get the dynamic mode acceleration? How big effect is that?

What else will I miss from the normal lc? Can the led headlight be fitted afterwards? I am very tempted at this stage... (Especially after all the 2016 trophy footage

)

Thanks guys.

I love the gadgets. ESA and all. Use it every single day.

Riding modes indispensable as far as I am concerned.

Wouldn't trade my bike for one without.

But, riding differs from person to person and we all have choices. Just my opinion...👍

I have ridden both and can honestly tell you that even in very technical situations at Sabie Valley Rider Academy, I could not feel a difference. I like all the add ons on the full spec LC, but I think the Trophy is a bargain, especially some of the used ones for sale at the moment.

Dankie vir die terugvoer sover... I.t.v die suspensie, kan die suspensie van die trophy steeds hoer gestel word vir meer tegniese terrein of as daar passasiers vervoer word?

Ek dink ek gaan maar more gou by ons handelaar draai...

I didn't ever want to change from my oil-cooled Adventure to the LC because of the crap new suspension system and all the electronic gizmotronics on the LC. Then the LC Trophy came out - Boooyaaa! What a bike, ABS, Heated Grips and Traction Control - that's it - awesome - the only extras I ever wanted.
Love the Trophy, I have ordered the new suspension for mine (also making it slightly lower because I am a short-ass) and of course I have added a ton of Wunderlich Bling as it is my showroom and I am loving it!
The best thing I am going to add is the Wunderlich seat, the standard seat is poxy to say the least!

As mens die prysverskil tussen die Trophy en die full spec LC in ag neem moet mens wonder of die klokkies en fluitjies dit werd is. Ja, die elektronika is lekker, maar dit is moerrrrr duur. Ek pillion op die oomblik gereëld so my ESA werk amper elke dag en dis handig, maar nie die alfa en omega nie. Die riding modes is lekker, maar ook nie die alfa en omega nie. Die LED lig is koel, maar is dit die geld werd? Derduisende rande. Die cruise control is vir my goud werd.

Die trophy se suspension stel met die hand soos enige ander fiets sonder ESA. Groot swart knop waarmee jy sy agterent op en af stel.

Ek dink die Trophy is 'n uitstekende koop teen die prys. As mens die ekstra bokke het vir al die klokkies en fluitjies en die goed is belangrik, is die LC die bike vir jou. Ding is, die Trophy gee jou dieselfde rygerief, kwaliteit, plesier, etc. teen 'n heelwat laer prys. Braam van Bavarian BMW (eks-Verkoopsbestuurder, nou Brand Amabassador) toer die land plat met 'n Trophy wat Bavarian vir hom leen. Hy kon ook 'n vol spec LC leen .....

Denver, I forgot that you are also a Wunderlich agent. I see those highway pegs are popular in the US. How do you find them? Before I decide on something like that, I will have to overcome a few inhibitions, and perhaps lament from all and sundry. But hell, I am nearly 60 so I guess I can now do what I want

Got my trophy December demo with 1200ks on the clock. Saved my self close to 50k compared to the full lc.I was then able to afford to kit it out with side and top panniers, crash bars, taller screen ext and still had money to spare for a rainy day. Love the bike. Fitted the Kaoko cruise control i think it was around R790 so that toke care of speed control. It takes 10 seconds to adjust suspension which is not very often. Every thing else works well. I have ridden the full LC and did not find i was missing much. Would i buy one again hell yes within a blink of a eye.

If you get a set, you WILL NOT be alone!
I shared an exhibition stand with Denver at the 2014 Africa Bike Week, in Margate...
(we helped each other with space/sales/bikes, etc).
I think he (I helped a bit) sold TWENTY THREE pairs within the 1st day or 2, and that was just that show, so I do think there are LOTS of highway pegs out there!

Cheers

Wonderlik! Baie geluk! Ek hoop elke dag wat jy ry voel dit soos Kersfees.

Ek ry 'n vol LC, suiwer omdat toe ek gekoop het dit al was wat beskikbaar was. Die enigste ding wat ek sou mis as ek nou oorslaan na 'n Trophy toe is die cruise control. Die res is nie die R50k werd nie. Soos iemand hierbo gesê het, ek sou verkies om die R50k op painniers, erc. te spandeer.

Verseker, ek het nou geld om baie ekstra op die Trophy te sit.

Ek het die opsie om n colour change van wit na daai donker blou te doen. Wat dink julle?

Dankie vir al die terugvoer!

Ek het toe woensdag my trophy gaan haal

Die boere sal ook bly wees, want dit het sover elke dag gereen vandat ek hom gekry het! Wat n lekker fiets, kan nie die smile van my gesig afkry nie.

Ek sal wel by die dealer moet uitkom, het die fiets op rain mode gesit, maar ekt steeds nat geword...

Ek wag nou net vir die crashbars om te arriveer.
