I booked a two hour demo on the new 1200 Gs last Sunday,( I own a 2002 GSA 1150

After about 25 miles on the 1200 Gs I had made up my mind,I was so unimpressed with the 1200 I order a new 1150 Gs adventure. I'm not saying the bike was crap!!!!! I just wasn't impressed at all, its was like riding a 650cc bike.

Regards J
 
Any particular reason for trading in the current GSA for a new one?
 
My Gsa dosen't have ABS and Piddcocks always give me a good deal, I change my bike eveyry two years anyway.

Fair do. I rode the 1200 for the second time last month, couldn't get on with it either. Was thinking about trading in my 2001 Gs for a new Adventure until I was offered £2500 trade in for mine :( - apparently it would have been worth less if it hadnt had the Ohlins :eek:
 
I think David mentioned in another thread that it has done over 60k miles Mike, instead of the "book" 10-12k it should have done for its age.

I 've found some dealers just make you an offer for your bike and thats it, take it or leave it, Piddcocks do try and give you what you want for you trade in, or as near to.

What kind of mileage & state is it in David :eek:

Mike

63k Full BMWMDSH - a complete state apparently !!

Traded in a 1990 K75S with 65k on the clock to buy the GS. In June 2001. Went to Ireland the next December with (the then 6 month old) GS, my in-laws (unfamiliar with English Registration plates) were worried I had fallen on hard times - the GS apparently not looking as good as the 10 year old K75S I had visited on the previous December .....
