Got My R1200GS Today:)

[Christoff]

I am over the moon with the new bike it but sad to see my Fireblade go!

The good news is I dont need Gary Glitters Platforms To Touch Down

Just need some miles for smiles now

Hi Chris, welcome to the nuthouse, soon have some miles on that bad boy, just some new booties needed

I did the same with my fireblade in 2004.
Two mates followed 3 years later.
Don't let them ride your bike for a few miles to ease their sore arses if you go touring.
When we got onto the decent roads in France, the problem I had, is that they thought they were riding super fast etc and were pumped when we stopped for a break and I was wondering what the fuss was all about. That's the only bit I miss. the "feeling of riding fast" (except straight line speed of course)

Enjoy !!
