My first GS dream....

[EnduroAlexis]

Dreamt I went to this side street, dark alley BMW dealer run by an Afghan militant. He claimed he could get me a brand new 1200 from the black market straight away, at £1000 cheaper.

It was only a dream though, but is it a sign that I am getting desperate?

Beware dealers like that.

'Tis the only way BMW can get rid of their servo'd bikes.

Test rides

I test rode BMWs 1200, 1150 ADV, 650 Dakar and Scarver.

They are the best motorcycles, by far.

I will never ride anything else again. I will always buy BMWs from now on. Most other bikes are just cheap and nasty!

i'll tell my chum who just took delivery of a ktm625smc that.

by the way saw today motorrad in Alton (SPC) had a couple of 12GSs in stock.

KTM

640 Adventure is KTMs only decent bike, at least for everyday use.

 

[Joyseeker]

so when does the 1200 arrive alexis?

 

[EnduroAlexis]

Joyseeker

It will be a 1150 ADV afterall.

Hope you are well.

 

[Joyseeker]

Alexis - how does the lifting of the 1150 differ from the 1200?

 

[MikeO]

These are all still dreams - right?

Lifting...

Easy, stand with back to the side of bike, kneel down, hold handlebar with one hand, and baggage rail with other, and stand up. Weightlifter trick!!!!!

Dreams..

.... will come true, end of May. But at my authorised and approved dealer!

 

[Joyseeker]

looking forward to your dream

Easy, stand with back to the side of bike, kneel down, hold handlebar with one hand, and baggage rail with other, and stand up. Weightlifter trick!!!!!

have you done a comparison 1150 1200? lifting the 12 by one hand grip is not that bad but then i've not had to lift a 1150.

true, ive worked out my 450exc needs more t.l.c per hours use then my gs needs per 1000 miles!
