    F9C7DDCC-32D4-4C0F-B37E-1913DC30B3DC.jpeg The S1000RR has gone yay.......replaced with this, delivered today.
    Never thought I’d ever own a GS until I test rode one, it is fantastic...ok it’s not a sports bike but I’ve not had this much fun for a long time.
    I still love sports bikes and knee down action as much as any rider but with the state of today’s roads this just makes so much sense.
    I’ve just got to train mesen now not to nod at you lot now! :p

    It’s each to their own when it comes to Motorbikes. Enjoy.

    That's ok the rod that pokes up from your seat when you forget will soon have you conditioned :p

    Seems to be a very effective method based on the GS riders around here ;)

    Beautiful colour that one mate.

    My dad has had 3 GS’s and covered over 30k miles on each one. Amazing reliability and great back up when things go wrong wherever you are.

    Enjoy :)

    How do you find the riding position though? I've tried the Africa Twin and the Tiger and don't feel as stable at low speeds as on my blade with the more upright sitting position (as much as my wrists, thighs and back wish I did)..
