Its a lot of bike and money to be throwing on the deck if you are not prepared for the repair bill,as are most adv bikes. However,get yourself over to the BMW off road courses and break their bikes,beating the rocker off a 1200GS is quite theraputic,honest. Oh and red bikes are faster than blue ones.GB wrote:Agreed, I just wish I had the balls/experience/time to challenge myself and my GS moremark1150 wrote:Bang on there mate, if we can't laugh at ourselves and our friends it would be a very boring place to be.Vindaloo wrote:All good ...

Finally back on a GS
