Ey up picked the new old bike up yesterday R850GS (mint) from Rainbow.
Bought it on a spur of the moment thing as it had just been pushed into the shop to get ready for photographs for the Internet. Had to tell a little white lie to er indoors that it was an old bike and was very cheap.
Riding the bike I was really impressed as my expectations were quite low with it ONLY being an 850. As other members have said it compares well to it bigger brother and the difference only shows its head at the top end ie 80-90 mph. I think this will end up being my main ride for the foreseeable future.
Look forward to maybe a ride out with some of you guys sometime.
Regards Tony
