I was coming back along the M8 from Glasgow today about lunchtime and spotted a white zebra-liveried Africa Twin heading in the other direction; it was the same colour scheme as Massive Lee's, and like the one I saw at the Scottish Motorbike Show in 2014. I think it had a big BMW GS for...

Hi just moved back to the UK and am looking for a new bike. Previously had a few adventure bikes including KTM Adventures and BMW GS's but as circumstances have changed am looking for an alternative We have just had a baby so my riding is limited and therefore dont want huge sums of cash tied...

Just had a look on the BMW GS info forum.Couldn't believe what i was reading.Numerous people complaining of severe engine rattles,coming from rocker cover area.Most of them say they have to use ear plugs to drown out the noise, that gets unbearable over 60mph.One poor bloke was told after having...

Anyone tried both these bikes, what is the big difference and which is best value for money compared to what you get ? I resenly saw a 1200 GS close up, and it looks stunning and all the owners are soo happy with them ?

Hi all, Over the last 10-12 years i,ve had a number of 1000cc plus bikes, but I,m beginning to think that its time to downsize to something smaller and lighter. I,ve ruled out the BMW gs650 twin, and after riding a versus 650 which although it was good in parts I,ve ruled out as well...

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I'm looking for a transalp 650 as I'm passing my full test soon. I have cash but I would also consider part ex my tl 125. It's basically a tlr 200 with the smaller engine. It's quite a rare bike being an import(field tripper). I learnt many years ago to ride on my...

quote from Ed March on face book :D:D:toothy8::toothy8:

I've been away from bikes for a while, had a DR350 which I bought in Texas (and used for a month of travel), then shipped to Kenya and used for 3 years. Next bought a BMW GS 650 Dakar in UK, rode around Ireland and Europe, then shipped to New Zealand and kept for 2 years. That was 5 years ago...

Have been offered a GS1200 at a good price off a skint mate & was wondering if anyone on here has any experience of them? Although they seem well regarded are they that much better than the AT?

Sorry. My GS is now not for sale. I've got too much other stuff going on to deal with the hassle of selling a bike as well, so I'll just have to keep it for a while longer. :)
