I've had a Yamaha, two suzuki's and now a Kwakasaki. Lot of Beemer riders down my way don't nod which I find a bit unfriendly. I think theres a whole stereotype thing going on and it does sometimes seem evident out on the roads... That said I think the GS/A is a Great bike and give it a few years I'...

Ok matey, hope you can make it, would be great to have another rider join us!

I've never been down your way before, only as far as Minehead. I've heard that the roads down there can be spectacular - so here's to good weather and clear roads! (Fingers crossed!)

B) Its what I plan on doing this summer! One and two up, couple weekends a lone, some with SWMBO. Planning on cornwall and wales.

Bike sparklingly clean, chain lubed and adjusted, FS365'd, wiring sorted out (majorly bodged on foglights). I think I'm ready for a ride tomorrow! B)

I think Kawasaki have some way to go yet, but I believe that BMW definately has it nailed as the top dog for adventure and touring bikes. They have the K1300s & GT, R1200RT, R1200GS/A, F800GS,F650GS etc etc. They literally are the benchmark by which all manufacturers attempt to build a rival mac...

YES! :woohoo:

That thing has style!

The southwest ABR group (Myself and Peejay) are meeting for a ride tomorrow at Gordano services on the M5, 10:30am! We plan on heading down to minehead, lynmouth and back via Taunton to Bristol. Anyone from the area welcome! We will be riding at a respectable pace (Myself on Versys 650, Peejay on 12...

Not sure really, depends. But a Versys frame and swinger will probably be more sufficient for the heavier weight as the bike weighs circa 200kg's. The front end is from the looks of things, pinched from a V-strom, its definately a Suzuki wheel on there. Light off-roading on this thing would be fine,...

The seem adaptable 1003903145_ctoRF-M.jpg 975678522_Hcwt6-M.jpg Thats an ER6n on stilts. The clue is in the swingarm, the Versys uses a gullarm, whilst the er6 uses a much spindlier swinger. @ Mark 1150, the ER6 / ER6f have side mounted shocks also, sharing the same engine as the versys but in slig...
