Bike mag reviews- 1150 and 1200

[Sweaty Sock]

As a bit of a hoarder, about to buy a 1150, I've been revisiting some of my old "Bike " magazines, with reviews of 1150 and 1200 GS against various others (inc ST1300!!!).

Can I post these here, or a link, or can I send a copy to a fellow GSer for personal purposes only, without contravening copyright etc...?

Post away. If they send you to jail, there's bound to be somebody on here close enough to come visit, whiter clink you're in...

I have BiKE from 1990 to mid-2004, and RiDE from issue 1 (Oct 95, IIRC) to mid-2004, with a few issues of each missed here & there.

Very useful & entertaining to trawl back through them. I've nearly memorised everything they wrote on the 1100GS & 1150GS.

Would love to find a copy of the RiDE issue where Kev Raymond (I think) stripped down a 100,000-mile 1100GS.

Probably not a good idea to share copyright stuff (like magazine articles) on a public forum, even when intentions are clearly altruistic.

Hah! FWIW, I got in touch with RiDE - it was an RS, not a GS. They don't have back-issues that far back, but the very helpful Caroline scanned & emailed me the articles (run over two issues). Fair play to them.

Very interesting reading.

Yeh, memory ain't where I left it yesterday, what's that over there? Porridge you say, mmm?

I have loads of 90s and 00s Bike mostly, 1150 and 1200 GS and GSA- always good to have a rake through of an evening...

Any chance of a pdf / doc for a read? I'm especially interested in any 1150 technical articles... and the high mileage strip down appeals...
Many thanks!
