Hello all.
Only my second post on this Forum so please be patience with me.
So I'm currently the owner of a 1250 GS adventure TE. What a great bike it is.
To be honest I cant really fault it but I do have one gripe. The 30 litre tank!
On a recent trip to BMW Off Road experience in Wales I rode what I guess would be the Rallye. I found that the bike just had a much more user friendly experience to it and in terms of looks it was way nicer also.
So in an ideal world I think I'd like the same bike but just with the smaller tank. I'm aware that there are some differences between the two: angles on the front end, different gearing ratio, slightly heavier fly wheel are some of the differences I've came across and to be honest I don't think any of these would make a particular difference to me.
I've had a play about on the BMW configurator and from what I can see I can actually get the same bike, or very similar, at a slightly higher price.
So I was wondering if anybody here has went down the same route or changed in the opposite direction and went for a GSA? Did the they regret it or never look back?
Would be interesting to hear any comments on what I'd miss out on from the GSA in terms of spec etc or is it possible to get virtually the same bike?
Thanks in advance and look forward to hearing your thoughts.
