Greetings with an R1150GS Adventure
Hi All.
I just bought a 2002 R1150 GS and wanted to find somewhere online to share and learn from and found here
First thing for me to work on is getting the lights better with a couple of spotlights (LED I think) to help visibility during the day and also what I can see at night!

I did 81,000 miles on mine from new, no brake issues. Mind you, it was never ridden in the nasty winter salt.

It was down to bad luck.
