How does it compare to the Arai Tour X?

"Just bought me one of these.....
BMW Enduro Piccie
It's very very light, visor doesn't fog, quiet and the peak keeps the sun out a treat. "
See Stoney's post in the visor up-down thread.

Williams have one "for display only". Size bigger than I would want, but very light, very comfy. Thicker padding than a system 5, Peak is removable, but looks crap without it, exposes the visor mechanism, which looks kinda flimsy.
Chin vent is non-closeable, and appears to direct draught up the inside of the visor, two closing vents on the top. Peak appears more aerodynamic than full MX lid, can't vouch against tour-x. Would really like to try one out at 80+ in the rain, but I doubt they would let me. Doesn't look as wierd in the flesh as it does in the brochure, IMHO.
Not decided if I want one enough yet, will wait to see what they feel like in my size.

I bought one from Rainbow last week. It was their one and only one at the time and just happened to be in my size.
It's fitted with a chin curtain so air doesn't blow up inside. The chin is nice and deep and really keeps the neck warm. With earplugs (which I always wear unless I'm popping down the shops) it's as quiet as anything else so I can't complain. The deep visor is a treat for great visibility and keeps any fogging well down from the field of vision.
At £235 I can't complain - its dead light and looks great IMO.
dark visir on order from Eire.

A GSA?
How're you getting on with that GSA Stoney, did you trade in your GS12 for it? -I'm testing one on Saturday from Allan Jefferies

I wish!!!! That's AJs test bike. I really liked it. Smooth, agile and planted! I liked the height etc.
I've still got my 12 and am still really enjoying it (see todays pics in Yorks section). I just wish it wasn't corroding so quickly. Still thats what happens I guess when you actually use a bike all year round and spend more time riding it than cleaning it like some folk.
Let us know how you get on with the GSA. I assume you're 5ft 11in +?

I took it out on Saturday and went for a blast through around Otley/Poole and over the moors. I only had an hour or so in the end so took it around a little loop I like to take on Summer evenings. It was too windy to get a decent feel for it, I was getting blown all over (given its supposed to so good in the wind I wouldn't have liked to be on anything else).
Being only 5'8" I was nervous about the height and had to plan approaches to lights and banked junctions etc so this too was a bit off-putting.
It doesn't feel as quick as the 12 and I couldn't quite get into the gearing. Turned very quickly though and I suspect it might be the replacement for my 1150. I agree super smooth and my 1150 felt pretty cramped afterwards.
Where does your 12 rust?, I saw what looked like a pretty abused 12 at AJ's a couple of weeks ago and all the usual gs weak spots look to be holding up pretty well. (Rusty fasteners and paint bubbling on the engine block though
)
I'm going to test the GSA with a lower seat once I've persuaded the salesman they can put a regular 12 seats on it.
Thinking about regular 12 panniers as well they have the option of being slimmer (useful on the inner road every day!) and they don;t have to have the frames fitted.

The Leathley/Sun Inn loop I bet - I love it. Yorkshire's answer to the Nurburgring and a lot less busy!!!!!Dabba said:
On an adventure!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're brave. I bet you had to do the old climb on it with the stand down malarkee...ooohhh how the IAM would love that...not.Dabba said:
All the usual weak spots - engine casing etc. Replaced under warranty so the chances are that a used one for sale will have had these done too!Dabba said:
I've out on my 12 a lot recently and it's a great bike...especially with a decent can on

Enduro Helmet.
I might get one of these, I'll be passing through Germany in a couple of weeks, would it be cheaper to get it there?
Anyone else got one? How are you getting on with it?

Motorrad customer information dept. are now quoting June for delivery
of the new helmets. Some problem with production machinery at the manufacturer.

tried one of these on at the dealers, couldnt get my glasses on! and nearly walked off with the chin spoiler thing, that had come adrift and attatched to my jacket... this feels like a budget helmet! nick
