Nooby without a GS

[milsh]

Hi all. Im still not too sure about your beloved Gs's, I know people who have them, and they love em.. I suppose one day ill have to try one for myself... but not just yet!

I currently ride a 2 yr old gixxer 1000 its been an ace bike for me, but recently its started to bother my wrists ( that'll be the old age creeping in).

I love touring round europe, ( been 3 times on this bike so far, and another trip coming up in sept) just recently came back from a 10 day 2500mile trip round the black forest, austria, italy & back through germany with my good lady friend on the back, and all the luggage!!

Main reason Ive joined your site?? its a little gold mine full of information. cheers for sharing.

Look into my eyes, not around the eyes, look into the eyes.
You will buy a GS. You will love it. You won't mind the odd fault - it's called 'character'. You will sign onto UKGSER regularly. You will buy your fellow Tossers lots of beer.
One, two, three - you're back in the room

Sorry milsch but you're gonna end up with a GS so you might just as well settle down to the fact and accept it

You obviously enjoy riding your Gixxer ... but your missis will love it on the back of a GS ... she'll fall into your arms after every ride

You know it makes sense .....

Welcome to the land of Tossers, now settle down, get your feet up, roll your sleeves up and get stuck in

Hi Milsh
Welcome - you're not the only person without a GS
There's a ton of information here regardless of bike.
Glad you had a brilliant time with Linda. Have a fab time with the boys.

If you're coming from a Gixxer, then don't discount the F800GS. The performance is pretty much identical to the 1200, but it's a bit sportier.

Definately worth testing both.

Keep the GSXR and get a GS or you'll miss the speed the first time you try and overtake anything

GS= dog slow, rattly, vibey old things that should have been phased out years ago, but they weren't !!!!!!!



And I luv em

On my third, first had 90k and was sound as a pound, sold (betrayed it sniff ) for a 5k example and got knocked off. Brought a K1200GT that I rode on 1 trip and sold to get another 1150 that was older and higher miles!
