20 years ago I loved the sound, but now I'd have to agree. It was fitted with a Remus Y piece at its very first service by BMW, so I still have a pretty much brand new cat and genuine silencer in the attic. I should swap them over.
R1150GS ... they still have "it", don't they?

You’ve looked after that bike really well. I still miss mine, but in this heat I don’t miss the oil cooler dumping heat straight onto my chest!
Never in doubt! 
The poor old girl got wet on the way home though cos for the first time in a week it frigging rained.
And guess who had all his vented gear on!
That’ll mean a few days of cleaning it up again. Arse.

900 miles in a year? You need to get out more!
Took mine out for a blast this afternoon/evening, around Bowland and up to Wray Bike Night before heading back down Lythe Fell Rd to Slaidburn and back to Preston.
Cracking route that Paul
The bike that did a great job, with no complaints and hiccups
Comfy
Handled well
Reliable
Whisked me along safely, in some atrocious weather cloudbursts
Took too much clobber and crap ….as usual (must pare it down)
Used 300ml of oil over the 1675 miles
Just goes to show you can tour on any bike and a £3000 one is just as good
On the Dublin ferry yesterday, it was the oldest bike at 21 years old
1150’s still can do it in an unsophisticated way - no ABS or traction/modes
