Hi all,
I'm not new to bikes but am new to the GS range. I had an S1000XR in 2015 when they first came out but thats long gone now. Been away from bikes since Nov '17 but the desire to ride again is growing (even though the roads are full of cagers on their mobile phones and pot holes big enough to hide in !!!) I'm intrigued by the GS range but have never rode one. I'd hate to just buy another XR as it's a known quantity without trying a GS so I've booked a test ride at my local BMW dealers on Monday morning. Test riding a 2nd hand 1200 GS TE, the new 1250 GS TE & a S1000XR to see what the differences are compared to what I can remember about my '15 model. Looking forward to getting back on 2 wheels again. Now I've got to decide do I go cash deal or PCP, mmmmmmm.
Cheers,
Ian C.
