Looks like I’m returning to the 1250 adv fold with my newly acquired 2021 Rallye GSA

Picking this up at the weekend hopefully, and the first job will be removing the gopping motograffix stickers 🤢

They’re great quality, but totally ruin the clean look of the bike.

The sharp eyed will appreciate why I fell in love with this one.

Fabulous deal with 2 years warranty and European breakdown which is a bonus 👍

Thought i had'nt seen your Avatar for a while;; looks like Rainbows Rotherham; no doubt Leigh will have been through it with a fine toothed comb; :beerjug:

Well spotted!

Only disappointment is a slight corrosion on the swingarm and bevel box but they are looking in to sorting that for me, otherwise the bike is a minty mint sub 10k mile bling mobile 👍

They seem to be holding their money now the 1300 is more sportsbike than GS, it’s just too firm for me and more XR than GS (plus the 1300 sounds like a bag of nails in a tin can!).

The warranty is comforting as I’m looking to do some good trips with my daughter over the next couple of years.

I bought my first 1250 GS from them last March.

I do like the BMW warranty on their used bikes, bit of comfort (hopefully never to use it nor the break down cover!)

Enjoy it and safe travels!
 
Someone has deffo spent some money on it, the 719 kit isn’t cheap.
 
Welcome back Phil, You're not having your alloys back though :D. You'll need something in place of those gold things.

If you're up for it in a few weeks we can go for that ride out we talked about when you dropped then off.
 
The first 1250s were fitted with the BMW branded Hayes brakes which were not as good as the Brembos
Oh ok. My 2022 1250GS had Brembo, my 2021 1250GSA has BMW (I assume HAYES) and they feel about the same, mind you I'm not "on it" that much but they do a good enough job for me :D

Not strictly true, the original Hayes brakes leaked and were swapped to Brembo, but once sorted, the Hayes brakes are actually slightly stronger.

My last one had Hayes brakes and they were awesome.

Sounds like a plan 👍
