perhaps I misunderstood your original post.

For the price I expect an immaculate X at 4500 miles.

The R at 1600 should be likewise. Off course in the end you are the best judge as you have seen them both in flesh.

TBH didn't have the time nor the inclination to view the TV episode and I still stand by my thoughts on stunt use. If you say it was nothing like this and is was purely used for transportation with no abuse, then that clears that angle.

I must say the graphics and stickers on the R are not to my taste but what's important is if you like them.

Hopefully you can test the R as well. You will find a number of discussions on this subject (X or R) in this forum which you will find helpful
