1290 super adventure pic!

:D

I guess this may appeal more to your 'typical GS Adv' owner and take the GS on a bit more head on where as the vanilla and R are more focused and less compromised?

It should, I'd have thought, do quite well but I don't quite get the cc hike as the 1190 is boggin' quick enough - unless it retuned to make the engine a bit less frenetic in order to make your typical GS owner feel safe in their comfort zone....... ;)

Or take a cylinder out :)
 
180bhp apparently, according to MCN...........

Andres

i read the article in sainsburys just now - mcn got a few things wrong about the 1190, so i would not be at all surprised that they got that wrong too :)
 
like a fit bird who's gone to seed?

You're not wrong there :augie

i never used to like the look of them, but that one..........:drool



you'd be mad to sell that :augie
 
Shame it's still a chain drive.

What a load of bollox from someone who calls himself an engineer:blast

You don't have to boil them in Linklife over your mum's stove these days y'know:rob and most of us will want to change the gearing at times.
 
He wouldn't have a clue as he's not a real engineer, he just plays with bits of wire and capacitors and stuff............ :D

Andres

You have just explained all, I wondered why I never paid attention to his opinions, now I now why:D :beerjug:

Eee that takes me back....
 
Ok ..... :D

I'm interested!!

I know I know I know ...... The women in our lives should have feck all say in what motorbikes we choose, but ..... (sigh) .... we do do quite a bit of two up Europe stuff, so its fair to say Rosy will seriously get the arse if I go out and get something with a budgie perch pillion seat.

This looks a pretty good compromise ? I will have a go (with her) on an 1190R demo, but this 1290 with bigger tank etc could be just the ticket? (bit too lardy for simple of road stuff ?? I guess time and reviews will tell ...... )

:bounce1
 
I am very interested!

I got rid of my TC GSA because it (sorry to sound a bit naff) but it just wasn't quick enough. I like a hoon, and I do a fair bit of two up European stuff with her indoors. (We both watched the video and have sat at the very same spot where they look down at monaco ..!)

I've told her I'm getting one .... (and she said 'OK then ...') :D

Let's hope it rides well, as you wouldn't buy one for its looks!:aidan
