What is it AL ????
"What is it AL?" -- It's a Hardly Dawdleson XL1200R Sportster, I'm about to get the Stage 1 engine tune on it to make it a bit quicker. Having said that it was plenty fast enought to keep up with my mates Thunderbird Sport around Scotland last week. I also intend to fit some IKON shocks, as the standard ones bottom out too easily with my gargantuan weight. Overall a very nice bike, sort of like a miniture version of my old FXDX Superglide Sport.

My dear old Nellie...
still my 1st choice for holiday tours, carries a HUGE amount of luggage and still goes (as much as any old Guzzi does
), stops and handles.
also blows minds of people i meet on tour that say something to the effect of "you rode THAT from Ireland to HERE?!.... and you reckon it'll get you home TOO!!!?"

Are you "Haack sputt"-ing at my new baby?
Hey, it rides nice, and at 2 grand cheaper than an equivalent 1200, I'm prepared to give it a fair try

I just meant similar age and mileage.
No offence taken, different bikes for different people. And make no mistake, the R1200GS is a fantastic bike, I didn't get rid of mine by choice. But I decided to try something that's meant to be a little more capable off road, and see how I get along with it. Some of the off road riding I was doing was stretching the GS to its limits (or maybe I'm not skillful enough to pull it off on that bike) and I was worried about the potential costs if something like the FD failed out of warranty. The KTM has the advantage that it uses more "traditional" technology, more suited to the home mechanic.
But this a debate that's been played out time and again on these forums and others! I still have a GS (650 - well it's Clare's but she lets me ride it if I'm nice to her) and I would love to own another boxer in the future when funds allow
