Nice, I know what you mean, had my 1150 just over 10 years, 
its become a family member, which is a bit sad but I can't see myself moving it on for a good while yet. I like the simplicity, reliability, and I know it inside out

It will get to a point where the original 1200 GS's will be cheaper than the 1150. Bikes still seem popular as I saw 6 at my last bike rally. New bikes are for the young.

I think they already are. I bought an 05 1200 a few weeks ago, 1150GSA's were generally going for more than what I paid.

Yes i think thats the way its going,i loved my 1200gsa but it didnt feel as solid as my 1150gsa i certainly think they will hold value better but for me they sre fantastic bikes...Although if someone wanted to swap me a nice shiney 1200gsa for my minter lol....

Had mine since mid 2003. Today, off to fill the tank and give it a power wash with Muc-off.

I've got a scruffyish Dakar colours 1100 bought from someone on this site... I bought it on the rebound from missing an 1150 with Ohlins for cheap cash... I have a few a simple mods on it that have cost me approx. £400 all in... At the peak I had 5 bikes and nearly sold this when I had something far newer and flashier...
I've had 3 before in various states of tune and rode 1150's and the odd go on a 1200 and this bike is still my favourite out on the lot... It is for some strange reason, the quickest engine out of the 4 11's and with one of Greek John's chips has tons of torque... It has even made me realise what a good idea the original 5 gear design was... No ABS and it doesn't even have heated grips...!
I know the bikes inside out, know how to ride them and what may need fixing... I am totally happy with it and even though I keep thinking of a tidy up, I know this won't make it ride any better and will only make me more precious...
1100/1150's are totally underrated and at the value you see some 1100GS's and especially RT's are the biggest BMW bargains out there...
PS I also have watched Airhead prices go up especially for the "customised" 5 mile trip to the café bikes and this only makes all the above seem so much more ridiculous...

Good times ....
I've got to say that sat on a number of bikes yesterday at the NEC, I looked at price tags of up to 18 grand and thought, "3 grand for a bike that'll do anything and go almost anywhere can't really be beaten". No chance of me changing any time soon.

Looked at the price of entry to the show and decided to stay at home. Nice and toasty.
