No need to apologise it's only banter, you'll have to learn to give as good as you get around here.

Don't worry 1150's pop up all the time and please wait for the right one to pop up here, that way you'll be getting the best bang for your buck and won't be shafted like you could be on other platforms

Hey Chris there is a beautiful 1150 up for sale at the minute. If I can give you my tuppence worth. Don't get sucked in about the 1150adv tank range.

For one thing they are considerably heavier when full compared to GS.

And the other thing if your travelling with mates chances are they will have 20 to 22 litre tanks so you can fill up the GS at the same time.
I have a 1150adv and never found the extra 13 litres was a big advantage.

Unless your travelling solo one up then there is an advantage.

I know you are entirely correct on this but the heart wants what the heart wants. I'm planning on buying the bike to keep, not just as a tool for a specific trip so I want to make sure I get the bike that I really want rather than being swayed by sense & reason!

I will be doing this trip solo or potentially with a friend in a Series 2A Land Rover.

It’s only 8 litres GS v GSA tanks

No problem
I think the 1200 GSA 2006-2013 is 33litres
That’s the cause

First rule is there is no etiquette...

2nd rule is you either get oilheads or you don't... Just go for a 500 mile ride and ask them at the end... Especially if there's loads of Twisties...

That’s the point, well said

They maybe old, but still gold
