R1200GSA LC review and Connemara in Autumn.

[Pete the paint]

Connemara at this time of the year looks superb. Reminder to me to get out west more! Good write up and super pics. I just love my 14 GS and after two weeks on it in Morocco I love it even more. The Enduro setting makes the rough stuff simple... well a little less difficult in my case!

Great write up. Thanks for taking the trouble.

I took my 2012 GS on a few track days at Cadwell, was really enjoyable. Mixing it with the quick guys- many great comments from other riders.

Have done 6 trackdays this year on my S1000R which is much more serious ( but still not track bike serious )

My GSA just seems so much bigger than the GS and when it is right over it seems the arc is so much more, you know- it seems as though from upright to full lean there is so much lateral movement. I suppose I should take the GSA on track to see what it can do- no chance of finding this out on the road.What tyre pressures did you run on the Annakees?

Standard pressures, I got one big slide and then another so just buzzed around at a smooth pace. The last session I used rain setting in the dry. The orange dash light was going like bill-yo but I don't get the TC at all.
I tried a HP4 last year, I couldn't see where I was going, just a big patch of tarmac in front of me. I shouldn't of worn the peaky helmet

Sounds like you overheated your tyres by using road pressures.

+1 on the great write up. I have a late 2013 LC and whilst only 6500 miles in I am totally delighted with it, it is more bike than I am man to ride it but it does make me feel semi-competent at times. However content a man is he will (well most of us?) always wonder if the grass is greener. Just do wonder if the GSA might be just a bit 'easier' ploughing the M25/M4 to see my parents, especially over winter. Your write up has answered a few questions, thank you.

Hi pat, I see you had a screen on your 13 gs... iv ordered my 15 gs for January and after the test rides I will change the oem, what did you have on yours and how was it, compared to oem or any others you have seen?

Good summary and I am thinking of a change from my standard bike to an Adv.

Took a demo out today and was very impressed.

My only complaint was having to bend my Yorkie Duo so it would fit in the cubby hole on the fuel tank.
