Ok, so i lied, this thread may not be lewd (well to start with anyway). Just bought a 2004 1150GS from SPC in Hampshire and have been out on it everyday since. Only had it 5 days and already bought half of nippy normans. Originally a 4cylinder sportsbike nut but have seen the light of the mighty boxer.

I rate the 1150 higher than the 1200, just me i suppose - i think the 1150 has more character and i found it much easier to ride.

Welcome....

Some of us don't care about cc, colour or the type of wheel you have.... :hogroast

Hello and welcome to the site

I bought mine from SPC in October last year, a lovely Yellow, yes YELLOW 1150, Did'nt buy for the colour before anyone starts

But you find that this is a very welcoming and helpful place, and lots of bods willing to offer help and advice, and the odd wise crack

Make, model, colour, engine capacity of no relevance in the real world!

Just so long as you ride a 'bike

Hmmm, now that sounds kinda familiar.....

I remember saying:

"I only like four cylinder bikes, they are so smooth, I'll never own a rattly twin", and "Look at those great big ugly enduro tourer thingies, who would ride one of them".

How things change when you take that test ride......

Welcome to the chapter mate. Don't forget to nod like a proper Tosser !!

Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to being out on it much more in the next few weeks - I am still getting used to filtering on the motorway with it (now having to duck when going past trucks so not to knock myself out on their mirrors!). -Heated grips are faaantastico though -

Anyone know what the average tank range should be? when i first picked up the bike I only got around 120miles to the tank - the second tank has given me 120miles with three bars left on the meter.
