Struggled to find the listing for the 1200Gs. Finally found it at 61st. Rated for reliability it is ranked as 141st. Lower than both the 1100 and 1150 models. Perhaps some of the moans in the postings are justified!
Thanks for the link. Missed the thread. Have just returned from the Pyrenees and South of France and the bike behaved well. Interestingly the alternator on the wife's blade packed in in Carcassone and had to be replaced under warranty. So much for Honda reliability.
