Hello everyone, new to this site and adventure bike riding. Had a test ride on a GS1200 Adventure what an eye opener. The brakes are astonishing and the handling, how does a bike this big go around corners so well? My RSVR Factory with all the Ohlins doesn't handle like the GS, mind bending. :eek.
Been terrorising Cheshire on Aprilia RSVR's for the last 4 years toured Spain on one, but on the last tour around Cornwall, i decided i've had enough of sports bike touring. Must be getting too old:comfort
So next month i'll be getting a GSA :clap Look forward to meeting up for a rideout or two.:beer:
 
WELCOME:beerjug:

.......done cornwall myself for the last 3years on a tl1000, a r1150r and a r1100s and this year itll likely be on a 1150gs. you cant beat a bmw for fun, and yep i know what you mean-you can throw them about like you have no right to, and quite frankly like they shouldnt be able to!

Welcome there fat boy .... you're amongst friends now so 'coming out' won't be too difficult ;)

Get stuck in and enjoy :thumb

You are making me think about whether it is wise for me to get an Aprilia RSVR after a GS?:augie
Welcome
 
Welcome aboard!

(Just one thing, don't ask any oil related questions! I did once and am still smarting for it!):augie:D:D
 
Welcome to the nuthouse. I know what you mean about the test ride being an eye opener. I took a 1200 ADV out for a test ride last month, mainly to get the idea out of my system, but couldnt part ex my triumph sprint st fast enough 2 hours later :D enjoy it when you get yours.
