No particular place to go but I don't give a feck.

Good stuff Boys, I hear what you're saying Marty,

I remember riding an R1150R I was given for a week (Road test for BRM way back) and I was riding aimlessly around Meremere, and thought, Ï wonder whats down that road,- lets have a look" therein followed a nirvana moment when I thought "Yeah, feck it, I can go wherever I damn well like" - I guess years of owning unreliable old bikes in my youth - well 1 anyway lol had always made me wary of how far I was away from mechanical help!

After a R100RT, a R100R, a R1150R I was wanting more weather protection but opted for the Pan after seeing a $10K difference in price, else I'd still be on a boxer.

I've ridden and love the R1150RS too - they are a dark horse alright, well under-rated.

Good on you Guys who are loving it!

The ST is pretty sanitised, I know, but I plan on fitting some slip ons to give her some attitude and look forward to putting a huge mileage on her - some overseas have 500,000 and still ticking nicely.

We must go for another spin with each other sometime Boys.....

ps 29 litres nah na-na nah nah

You're already emotionally cheating on your current girl!!

Yes, I have a roving eye but it doesn't mean I don't love her, I'm just wondering what it would be like to ride her younger sisters

Im going to hate to have to park it up for winter down here, guess it will mean getting the push bike out.....ho hum.

Don't mention winter mate, still time to get another 10k on your 800 before winter, head north young man.

" I can go wherever I damn well like" -

That sums up the mood I was trying to convey perfectly, I suddenly feel Free again .

Well said young shaft.

P.S. 23 liters but 65 mpg nah nah na!....... actually I'm not sure who won that

ps 29 litres nah na-na nah nah

33L here, but I suspect its actually more like 35L

P.S. 23 liters but 65 mpg nah nah na!....... actually I'm not sure who won that

Ok, no way I can do 65mpg, but I've had it down to around 5L/100km... BMW wins!

Look but don't touch!

23 litres yes, but have you actually managed to ever get that much into it? Modding the filler neck might have to be my next job.

Haven't become a nirvanist yet. A bit of nirvs sometimes and anist in others... but often go the long way round the block - because I can

Well no, now you mention it. when the gauge reads empty and the fuel light is on, I can only get about 18 litres in it. I assumed the gauge wasn't accurate and there was a few litres still in there. Are you telling me they were never in it in the first place

Dunno. I've only managed to squeeze in 19.5, hate that filler neck. Maybe one day I'll run it till it stops and find those missing buggers, but don't know if it could harm the injection system?

but don't know if it could harm the injection system?

I know my manual says not to run my 2010 R1200GSA dry, as it will hurt components. Your bike being a bit older may not be quite so restrictive?

My manual says 33L, yet I've had a range of 60km remaining and filled with 32L, so I reckon I can get more like 35L in. No mods done to filler neck or anything. Looking at Devil's 06 GSA, the necks differ, and mine can't be pulled out so easily.
