In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The R1250RS and Fazer 1000 produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the Fazer 1000 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 10kg less than the R1250RS, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the r1250rs if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the fazer-1000 if you want the alternative brand character.
