I currently own a Ducati 1260S, 14 months old 2000 miles on the clock, as you can see not used much apart from dry days! Lockdown hasn't helped and is probably more of a toy than anything else.
I've had 3 GSA's in the past. all air cooled, the first 2 were amazing, the last one had terrible corrosion and never felt planted above 60mph. I was younger then and had money 'On the hip' so swapping bikes for something newer and/or different wasn't a problem (i'm not quite that lucky anymore ).
I gave up biking about 3 years ago and really missed it, hence the Ducati, always wanted one so I had a bit of spare cash after downsizing my house, I told SWMBO this was my last bike ever and she believed me
Problem is that the GS thing never goes away... I really miss having a GS in my garage hence this post and some questions please? Don't worry not going to ask what oil to use
Been looking at a couple of nearly new GSA's online, would like to have a trip to my local stealer but things aren't easy at the moment due to the National Lockdown.
So a couple of questions please?
1. I'm a bit of a short arse and always had a low seat on my previous bikes, is this possible on the newer models or is it a case of finding a lowered frame model?
2. The bike looks big, is there much difference in size/weight compared to the older air cooled GS adventure.
3. The older bikes used to be specked with 2 different packs, Dynamic used to be one of them if memory serves. looking at the newer bikes the have TE, Rallye, Exclusive etc. Really confused!!
Again, apologies for some of the dumb questions but I'm expecting a call from my local dealer today and want to be straight in my mind whats what before being pushed toward something I'm not sure of.
Thanks peeps.
