STOP PRESS FIRST TIME DOING A POLL SET UP - I REALLY NEED A SIMPLE YES - NO - JOB - BUT I CANT CHANGE IT - SO DONT WASTE YOU TIME COMPLETING IT UNTIL THIS GETS CHANGED
Boys ( and Girls ) I am a confused Puppy - there seems to be a lot of interaction re new 1200 vs old 1150 and I m trying to get my head AROUND IT - I am particularly interested in gathering info at a glance ( hence the Poll ) for this .This is aimed at old GS 1150 boys who have moved to new 1200 GS's or those who are thinking about it and have DRIVEN a new GS 1200. This will help all of you so please consider it .
I would hate to buy a 1200 to discover that I did not like it - I have driven it but am not too sure - yep it was nice - yep its lighter - BUt I love my old GS - its tough and like a old leather jacket - its familiar. If I wanted sports bike stuff - I d have kept the Blackbird!- And when people say things like its a totally different bike - I get the hee bee jeebees and when they say -" it should not have been even called a GS "- I really question myself.
Take the start of the GS range - each one was a progression to the next ( ok so some were small - some were large) but overall the entire thing has been progress - what I am trying to assertain is this a progression - getting more things right and the design gets better . Is this a true GS or a upscaled 650 or a totally new bike - neither of which I particularly want.
I often here GS being comapred to Rage Rovers - so is this a new Rangerover or is it a new Discovery - or do I just have too much time on my hands
Your comments will be most appreciated - but the Poll is best for gathering total info.
Cheers Boys (and Girls ) and to all the guys( and Girls ) who came to Lahinch and who went on the "Real " off road Run - as distinct to the "Tea and Tiny Cakes " Run - Hello and was nt it really nice out - I think I ll keep it out - remember always look on the bright side of life .
