Bugsy Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I sold my Triumph last week.I loved that bike but, if I'm honest, I never really got used to the feet-forward riding position and getting around tight hairpin bends was always, err, interesting. [:-))]Anyway, went out yesterday and bought this[IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p211/Bugbear2/BMW1150GS.jpg[/IMG]It is BIG and HEAVY but SO comfortable to ride.No pipe & slippers jokes please.

DerekJ Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Nothing for the GS that I could find from that link. Edit... I never searched far enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Absolutely no jokes from me! The riding position looks so much more comfortable and of course the bike gets good reports in other departments!I'm still OK on my VFR at the moment but I may get a set of bar-risers this year, I'm beginning to feel the ache in my wrists.Happy riding and Happy Easter, Bugsy!

LesFlamands Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I've had my R100GS for 22 years. I tried an 1150GS (same colour) for 3 years but never really got to like it, dead reliable tho'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Love the GS, I have a R80GS Basic and R100GSPD. Check out the UK GS Forum if you haven't already. It is a mine of information and there are some really helpful (as well as some not so helpful) people on there. Enjoy Your new M/C Bugsy [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
