Hello all,
I've just acquired an unseen, R1200GS, 2007 after an irrational and impulsive purchase on ebay.
Yes, I know, I know, UNSEEN - I said I'd never do it again, but.... It happens sometimes.
So, I thought I'd join the forum, as I'm sure I'll be needing loads of info while going over it and making sure it's fit to ride. Hopefully, in time, I'll be able to contribute too!
I've had my eye on a GS for sometime. I took a test ride by accident and found that I, unexpectedly, loved it. I'd visited a BMW dealership to view a Honda CB1300 they had taken in PX. Once around the by-pass I returned the CB, feeling underwhelmed and the salesman suggested a ride on a GS. Although I'd always thought they are not for me, I figured why not and took it for a spin. An hour later and lost in Northamptonshire, I realised that my time was up and I had 30 miles to cover to get back!
So since then, I've hankered for one but just didn't have the cash for a second bike. This year they seem to have dropped into an 'affordable' area and I took a punt on the ebay.
I guess we'll see if my gamble paid off or not....
