I too am the proud owner of a GS1200SE ,had the 1150 GSA silver and a white SE and then a white 1200GSA followed by a Red GSA1200. Now the best of the lot!! The 1200SE
Reckon for a short arse like me its the best option no extra height, wire wheels, and all the bells and whistles.. and a great colour scheme... I can cope without a 400 mile tank range as I can't see me going anywhere sans fuel

A North Eastern owner here and haven't seen another one NE / NW or around the Borders as yet (although there is obviously one not far away in Cleveland
Enjoying the experience so far after a succession of Japanese large capacity inline fours and looking forward to a European tour and Manx pilgrimage this year.

highest mileage SE?
I love my SE. The best GS I have yet had (of three). I have just returned from a 7000 mile trip to Syria and Lebanon. The bike just got better and better. Best fuel consumption on the computer was 57.6 miles/gallon. maximum actual range was 236 miles with 2 litres remaining in the tank. This was helped by doing 130 miles down hill from the anatoylian plateau to Adana in Turkey
. Only replaced a bulb. no oil used.
So the bike has done 16,700 miles since 8 July last year. Can any SE owner top that?
Regards,
Path.

Get your skates on.
Ian,
I never thought I would say it, but they really aren't run in until about 13,000. Its now smooth as silk, even at low revs.
The SE is my only transport other than a pushbike. It shops, commutes, visits relatives and does amazing long trips. I reckon that the trip to syria involved over 100 hours in the saddle. Its not that difficult. Just get out and ride!

3rd GS
Got mine in July, Just going in for its 6k service at Bahnstormer on Wed, No problems, used no oil at all, unlike my 04 GS, which used a lot to start with, I have to say had almost no trouble in 42k miles, and looked good as new. The SE is a nice bike just seems to be that little much quicker, Fitted Road Attack Tyres at 4500 miles much better in the bends.
