Re: R1200GS
Are you going to turn into a full GS rider and have hard panniers put on and cover them in stickers?
They are supposed to be very accomplished bikes. It looks heavy, I take it it doesn't feel that way?

Re: R1200GS
I agree Duke.
Plus due to the odd erm I mean boxer engine, a lot of the weight is very low down. It feels very light and balanced on the move. In fact transition from side to side its a lot faster than the S1k. SO it will be quicker through the twisties, and it was supposed to be slowing me down lol.
No, the plan I have is that if I get panniers they will be soft ones. I do intend going camping this summer. I need to work out how to get all the camping stuff on.Kwacky wrote:Are you going to turn into a full GS rider and have hard panniers put on and cover them in stickers?
Its heavier than the S1k, but lighter than the equivalents like the Explorer.Kwacky wrote:They are supposed to be very accomplished bikes. It looks heavy, I take it it doesn't feel that way?
