Lovin it

Hi there - I'm relatively new to this GS1200 world of madness as I only picked my 08 GS up in April

Still 2 months and 2000 miles later I can honestly say I haven't had this much fun on a bike since I was falling off lots on the BMW Off Road Course in South Wales - funnily enough that was on a GS too

Now gone and booked up for a tour of Ireland in September to see if this touring stuff is for me in the future - can't wait so will have to try a bit of independent travelling until then

Marvellous scenes.

Popped out for a quick spin round the block yesterday afternoon in the sun and did 100 miles.

 

[Hexme]

I love mine to!

I'm actually really really sad today, as my 06 GS is being sold on Sunday. Just had to bring it in to work to get some warranty work done by the dealer, and the ride home will be my last on it.

I actually didn't think I'd be this sad to sell it, but I'm genuinely down today. I have one last 9 mile ride home on it, and that will be it.

Hey ho, the GS advanture does look good

Happy with mine, an 06 26000 12 GSA, having its first problems now, the clutch slave cyl has failed due to a servicing error sometime in the past, and a corrosion error is being sorted on the FD.

Other than that I'm very happy

 

[Hexme]

About time we had some good comments on here about 1200'S

My 05 plate GSA is fantastic too.

Off roaded it, two up blasts down motorways, camping, europe, Morocco: it's done it all without missing a beat.

Did I mention it's an 1150



















I'll get me coat

 

[Mike Peers]

Loved my '05 yellow peril. But my missus said it was about time I had a new one She's a good girl. I now have a new one in stealth bomber grey and love it too.

 

[Robbo1200ADV]

I also love my 06 (07 model) white GSA12.

So far nothing has gone wrong,apart from the rusty pannier frames it came delivered with!!!


Withy regard to this bloody EWS ,do I need to get my bike done as well ?


It was bought in Sept 06 and is one of the first non-servo bikes.

Mines same as yours and I havent been contacted Love mine !! Wish I had more time to ride it!!Love it

As you haven't changed your name to Mutley1200

Must be nice having a bike that wasn't known about until the LWR. Get yours before or after the show

I know what you mean Stevo, as soon as I got home from our trip I said to myself 'what a great bike!' too

 

[Peak]

'08 GSA. 4 Weeks old, 2,700 miles. Already the best bike I have ever had. Does every thing I want it to and more.

Aren't you in the wrong section?

 

[Flashman2001]

Sorry ....... I have stumbled into the wrong chatroom ...... I thought this was about partners

And if it wasn't for the LWR and LWD how many 1200 Adv's do you honestly think they would have sold?

Only time will tell which is the better bike but for now I'd put a fiver on my 55 SE being worth more than most 1200's in years to come.

But We'll all be on our GSA1250's then!!

This is the way that I feel about my 2008 GS too! I'm only a few thousand miles in, but on my last bike a few thousand miles took the best part of a year instead of a few months; nuff said really.
