Hello everyone and thankful to be here for some help and advice as I am looking to buy my first touring / adventure bike having ridden sports bikes for as long as I can remember. I still ride the sports bikes but my body now says for less than 200 miles! So I am looking for my first GS with a small budget of around 4000 - 4500 which looking on ebay looks like I will be somewhere between 2006 up to 2010 model GS.
I have been told to avoid pre 2007 bikes as there is an issue with brake servos or ABS? So I am going to try for later but I would like to hear some opinions from you guys.
I believe 2008/2009 is known as MU with different styling? and 2010 is known as TU with a twin cam head? Is this correct?
So any advice on which model year is best? ny things to look out for? To get a TU I would be looking at a high mileage 60k bike. Is this an ok mileage?
Any help appreciated
