Looking for technical info from an R1200GS owner :)
-
CanAm370 (Paul) will have the answers for you, been wrecking them for years and no doubt riding plenty. The only advice I can offer you is, buy a TENERE instead!! :P ;D ;)
-
Tenere, Tiger or big KTM.

Poor guy, Smed probably just wants to wire up his optional ash tray and gear lever warmer and all he cops is this shit ;D ;)

That's a steal! You'll punt that pretty quick I'd reckon, the new Strom 1000 launches in aus this month, will be interesting to see if its a true competitor in its class or not. Considering its 100% nothing like its fat, bulky, unsightly earlier incarnation it should stand a fleeting chance of being looked at by serious adventurers....time will tell.
Cheers, Brendan

gear lever
You got that bit right Brendan,just wana know the stock length,I am wanting a hammerhead lever & have been told they fit my elsinore,just not sure what length tip to order,so i need a starting point for comparison ;)
Done a fair bit of ADV riding back in 97, 2 mates & 1 c#ckhead (Funny how you really get to know someone after spending a few days in there pocket ;)) & myself all rode big tank trailys all over the shop including shepparton to the Birdsville races & back,great fun :) (apart from old mate ;)0

New V Strom end of next week, I have a Demo, so looking forward to riding that too,
$15,900 plus on roads so less than $17,500 great value too

Sorry mate. Wasn't having a go at you. I pretty much only ever ride alone these days for the same reason. At least there's ever only one cockhead to deal with! ;D
Maybe it's Charley and Ewen's fault, but most 1200GS's I've seen have been loaded like the one above. ::)

All good Mr T :)
I got to thinking about the Birdsville trip so dug out a few pics,still got my entry ticket too ;),my bike is the Yam ;)

Done the protoyype for the Suzuki and the Yamaha and set up or serviced a few World travelers on BM . When it comes to handling , resale value and reliability , the BM wins hands down .
Maybe true, but still not enough reason to own a bike that will have your peers constantly questioning your sexuality ;D ;D ;)
-
I own a 1200GS and would be happy to help if I can.
And the only bike better than a 1200gs is a R80G/S PD :)
