I wont be going around the world on it just europe and Scotland.......I suppose i just thought that going from a Landrover to Bmw id be into a super reliability bracket in comparison???
someone put me right.....:confused1:[/quote]
Just as a quick one........ If you break down in Europe then European AA/RAC cover would do you just fine whether in a Landy or a Beemer for if your not going around the world then the GS would be just great on them long metalled roads.
Posing isn't a thing nowadays on a GS as they're common as Porsches (650GS-Boxster, 800GS-Cayman, 1200GS-911 and so on) you'll just look like another guy with an expensive bike and sit at the side of the road like a broken down porsche driver hoping their credit card is the magic wand and you know how much we all snigger at them when you see 'em....... LOL! (Don't lie, you know you do!  )
Money no object..? I'd still not buy one as they're not my personal style but if it floats yer boat then read up on HU (Tech Forum), pay yer money to the dealer and find out what the fuss is all about and when you've broke down or flat tyre (which we all do!) out of mobile coverage and it's pissing it down   only then you'll know whether your happy with your choice of steed!
I'll stop and help yer out......... unless your in a Porsche that is!  LOL!!
P.S. 1200 gs is it worth it...? Nah.....when you can buy 2, 3 or even 4 much cheaper, lighter, proven and reliable bikes for the same price as a new 1200GS?
