Hello guys,

Pleased to be here and looking forward to asking the typical stupid questions that newbies ask.

Subject to a satisactory test ride on Wednesday I'll be ordering a GSA TE in Red, after a c15 year break from biking (yes, back with a bang I know) :D.

I currently have this, which I've owned since 1986 and yes that is the kitchen it resides in (the wife's idea too :thumb) as we approach some work on the garage.

 
Good man - slowly, slowly catchy monkey - soon have the wife in the garage and the rest of your toys in the kitchen - she can visit mind:D

Greetings & welcome to the forum.....enjoy the GS when she arrives; you may need to make more room in the kitchen :D
 
Yes, as in a Honda CB1100R-D almost similar, metallic paint, black chrome exhaust and slightly shorter fairing being obvious differences from the R-C.

I almost bought an R-A and still kick myself for not buying it.

I’ve just shown my wife that picture, and she gave me “the look”.:D
 
My dream bike of the early eighties, very expensive but worth every penny!
 
Apologies, doesn't look metallic; kitchen too shiny.

I've also got two VF1000RE's an RF and the last uk RG which is a rothmans, along with one of first gl1100's goldwing. Has panniers/topbox and no fairing.

Nice kitchen and welcome, just make sure you check the height of the bike sitting 2 up also, and all the different sitting positions, and seat height options, and seats, it will save you spending later.

Thank you - I'm virtually flat feet down on a standard GSA seat, so all is well.
 
So the order button was pushed today, after a 40 mile demonstrator ride :thumb

Racing Red GSA TE with luggage and a tank bag.

This is the first boxer I've ridden and compared against a number of across frame fours, including the CB1100R, it was a bit, er, agricultural, but I accept it's me not the bike that needs to adjust.

Now the waiting begins :comfort
 
Some 3 months after ordering, and due to some unforeseen garage extension/floor related problems, my GSA was delivered on Tuesday - with foresight I'd have been better waiting until March reg, however...

Please excuse the surrounding mess as I'm getting the garage into some kind of order.
The dealer forgot to add the NAV 6, so it's being posted out.
