LOL...didn't realise it was that expensive.
There you thinking about a new bike and it was only a few weeks ago
you were thinking about packing in biking and just getting a little
commuter. What was the 800 like, I actually like the one with the half
fairing, rather than the full fairing, although that is based only on
looks as I have never ridden one...hence my question before about
trying them.
As to a GS, its back to the being intimidated by a big bike syndrome
again I'm afraid. In terms of what the bike can do I reckon it would
be the perfect bike for me but size is scary...cue Jake with Bishop
and actress jokes :>)
Still at least if you get a Beemer maybe there will one on the road
that will wave to me; at present, on my commute, I see a big RT, a
Honda Hornet, Triumph Bonnie (really nice colour scheme) and none of
them will wave, whether this is because I am on my little stroker or
whether they are just miserable s*ds I have no idea.

I had tried the new R1200GS fitted with the new low seat option.
Before I

probably the best bike I have ever ridden. Unfortunately I'm sure
Sue will
think of 11000( all of them with a ? sign) reasons why I can't have one
