This is my love

To me, it feels like this bike represents a return to the essence of the g/s, which has become a bit lost over the intervening years.

Oh go on then…

Anyone know of a decent bashplate that works with the Unit Garage headers?

 

[Urban Rider]

Added a few UG bits to mine last night…
Not 100% sold in the screen yet (and not had a chance to test it). New bars going in Sunday…

 

[Mad Paddy]

Thanks Blacknbluex2 for correcting my pictures

Do you need a screen ?

 

[Mad Paddy]

I have
waiting on sat nav mount and engine bars and side racks for soft luggage
Plus I have my akrapovic titanium headers to fit also

 

[Mad Paddy]

Not sure about smoked screen IMO

Me too
Not keen
I bet the ‘clean air’ is interrupted by it

I wonder if that's in part, to the current CEO and his relationship to/vision for, this segment of the Motorrad division of the brand?

Whether or not, it's nice to know that your handkerchief is there to dry the corner of your eyes!

(And yes, I solidly agree with you).

Anyone own a R12G/S and an R1200/1250GS? Wondering which is the taller at the highest point…. ( my 1250 fitted in my van with screen removed but was too heavy to do alone - I could easily fit the R9T in myself)
