I'm in love. That deep, all encompassing type of love that you can't escape. I've had my bike 101 days now and its just superb. A low mileage late 58 plate 1200GS with the bells and whistles. Having moved from a 55 Yamaha Fazer I was a bit concerned about the increase in size but what a bike. I've just clock 3500 miles on it and I am now really understanding why people love it so much.

Its just so effortless. I'm pleased I changed the screen for an MRA touring screen - a lot less buffetting and slightly less noise; also the hint of having the seat positions high at the front and low at the rear has made a real difference in the comfort. Costs the same as my Fazer in fuel.

I would ask, does anyone else find at about 4500rpm, especially in 6th it gets a bit 'lumpy' and then once up to 5000 it all smooths out again?

If you are thinking of getting one, go for it, you'll not regret it.
 
pleased your enjoying it:)


time will tell however, so fingers crossed.


yes they are a bit lumpy at about 4 thou, there are numerous ways of curing it, as yours is a late 12 best do a search to see what others have successfully done.
