I did it...

Maybe the earlier models are...this one...not so much :D

I demoed and loved the 1200GS triple black, was keen as mustard...had a second demo with her on the back and she hated it..her words "boring,slow,heavy,ugly""

:(


I liked it though. :thumby:

She's just put one of our mares to stud so another foal due next April/May :D
We'll have six horses then, so that will be a good angle for another bike. :augie

6 horses:eek:......................you'll be lucky to have a bike at all:comfort

Horses are dearer than bikes

You can only ride one horse at once:P

You can only ride one bike at once.
 
mode this mode that FFS!:mad:

That's all I ever hear when people discuss the new Weenerhead.

Ive only ever driven a car with a mode like that, an Alfa, they might have well called it 'the fecking joke mode' as you could'nt pull out of a juction with out it spinning it's wheels.

All I require is a bike that's fuelled well and with a good clean throttle action, the rest I can do myself - you know read the condition ahead and make accurate decisions on how you control the bike

modes are playing to ego's of w@nkers
'hey look how fecking crazy my bike is in knob mode'
'its such a fecking wild machine it needs electronics to keep it upright, just like a Euro fighter needs them to stay in the air'


Bollox's - Modes are for Morons and if your bikes got them it's because the marketing department thinks you're a small dicked (other wise known as a 'Weener') who needs their ego massaged.

She doesn't sound like a stupid girl and will very easily compare her 6 against your 178 braked ponies on one bike alone and reckon she has some way to go :D



Plus the 325 ponies the S4 is currently putting out :blast

I'm screwed :aidan

ha ha ha ha ha so true....I remember all the Power Rangers harping on about "big cock" mode on the 2009 GSXR1000...I thought "yes, yes you are.... :augie "

I quite like the modes on my car, with Eco Pro being used around town and on motorways and Sport on the A/B roads as both the engine and steering become much more responsive. Feckin useless around town though as you lose the bottom end torque (I keep stalling it :P ) and the throttle response is very jerky.

I'm looking forward to a WC test as SWMBO thought out GS was slow and boring, which is why we switched to the RT. I much prefer the GS styling though and the new engine seems to address the lack of performance issues, bearing in mind I ride two-up nearly all the time.

I like the idea of a soft engine mode of the backroads of the Dales and a more responsive one for fast A/B roads in the same way that I love ESA which worked well on both my GS and RT due to the huge variety of roads I ride.
 
Rain mode is for rain. Don't abuse it.

Road mode is for running in. Don't use it after first service.

Dyna mode is for daily hooning. Set it there and leave it alone till it rains.

Enduro is for off road. Use it when off road.

Enduro Pro is for when you are behind in the Dakar. Press once to win.

This is pretty much as per the manual. You're likely to invalidate warranty if you use these modes incorrectly.
 
:D:D

Seriously, what does Enduro Pro actually do to the bike? (apart from turning it into a virtual 450 of course ...:rolleyes:)



must.....resist........must.....stay....quiet...........:augie

I agree Modes are for Morons - but you can get the 'Weenerhead' without all that stuff and it is still the best GS to date.
