Am thinking of getting a 2007 1200 gs 
and keep my 1100 gs this idea might go away after lockdown 
and keep my 1100 gs this idea might go away after lockdown Absolutely brilliant, really enjoy reading and seeing pics of bikes that are in great condition with decent miles on them. I wish I had kept my 2003 1150 GS. Also my 2008 basic 1200GSA. I did 14,500 in 6 months of touring then sold it.
I know this is an 1150 thread but just thought I'd jump in with my two pennyworth 
. Who needs these new fangled 1150's anyway 
. ? 23 years old, mileage embarrassingly low, only owned for a year and had plans to do many miles this year but events have rather scuppered that concept for now.....fingers crossed..

Love the beak and headlamp on these, looks great. I see the new Vstrom aka Dr big has got it back to, much favour those styles over the transformer looking shapes of new.I know this is an 1150 thread but just thought I'd jump in with my two pennyworth

To much cleaning and polishing going on there
Steady... you don't actually think we ride these old tractors do you! Whatever next!
I even took it on gravel roads, in 2006 when it was newer

Telelever repaint?
There's one small paint chip, not bad for a bike that's been used daily and all year round.....
Is that the one that you did the Stella Alpina on?
My Multistrada looked a bit grim after that little escapade

No, that was the black one I sold to Bloomers100
mines way worse than this
Mines always immaculate
My 1150 is very much closer to this state than the other beauties on this thread - 93k km. I'd love to give it a complete cosmetic overhaul...

1100, 1150 - same bike really IMO, so any thread on one can totally feature the other...
Doesn't always look that grubby, just gets used almost every day, work etc mind you, this pictures a while ago

I agree
Some do you look better than new

Many thanks for your comments Paul and JB, I think it’s a trick of the “light” . The blue looks slightly darker!! As for the plastics, I just use WD 40.The term 'better than new' is used a bit glibly, but this bike really does look better than new. It's as if the years of polish have built up to give it an even better finish. Those black plastics just look....rich. Very, very nice.
