The BMW GS boxer twin thread

[Aslan]

looks nice aslan. My local bike shop - city m/cs is now the BMW agent & have a range of new BMWs. Far out they're a bit more comfortable looking than ol Schmidt
That looks to be a cheap price for a nice bike - good luck with the sale.

thanks Padmei - price reflects my assessment of what 'the market will bear' - IMO the 1150 is hugely underated - people will pay more than I'm asking for mine for a similar year F650 (single) - I assume because they appear less imtimidating mass wise.

Enjoy the Dusty Butt - hope Schmidt goes well for you - I decided to put the dosh I'd spend travelling to the Dusty into my new bike

patina of use seriously considering a 1200 gs myself

Cheers BMWST? - I can't tempt you with a well sorted 1150GS for a fraction of the price of a 1200 then?

Hi Aslan,

congratulations on the new bike, it looks great. I am too attached to my 1150 and to my wallet, too make a change :-). Especially, since it's finally run in.

Yes, Gerda and I have booked a spot. I am in the process of getting the R80GS sorted out, now that I've sold the R80G/S. Will you do the ride?

Cheers BMWST? - good job we all have different tastes eh? A factor in the 11XXGS favour IMO is their relative simplicity compared to the Hexheads - much of maintenance is within the reach of owners with modest mechanical skill

I knew there was some thing I liked about it, coz when I first saw the 1150 then one day woke up & took a look at it & at 2nd sight
