Quick Greetings to all,
Well, as a biker of Japanese sport bikes for 29 years I took a ride on a Southport Superbikes R1200GSA a couple of weeks ago .. .. .. POW! I was sold.
The very next day I placed an order for a 'full-spec' Triple Black.
I've now had it for a week and have done 300 miles only (work commitments spoil the riding fun) - plus the miserable bas**rds have started gritting the roads again over the last 3 nights
)
My previously loved ZX10R has been resigned to the back of the garage and is currently up on eBay along with a multitude of carbon goodies.
I'm loving the GS soooOOO much, I’m kicking myself that I’ve WASTED the last few years following the route of big BHP and ever tinyer (is that a word?)sports bikes with their 'fag-packet' sized pillion seats (my Girlfriend is very, VERY grateful her tender rear is being pampered, for a change)
The do-it-all, swinging, thunderous, unhurried bellow of an R1200GS with it's heated grips, sumptuous seat and ESA was obviously a hidden secret you were all keeping away from the rest of us, but ha ha ha your secret is out.
The R1200GS is just phenomenal, all those 'boring BMW' statements are cobblers, this is simply one hell on a machine.
It didnt take long to get used to this 'odd-ball' bike - I’m loving every moment of ownership and plan to keep in for the long foreseeable future.
The fun of biking is back - I’m riding around with a gormless grin on my face
