Well.....you see, I find that the GS version looks too much like the Tiger for my taste. I really didn't like the Tiger: the gear selector is slightly too offset to the right, which meant that it doesn't line up with the footrest and every gearchange had to be approached carefully, or you missed it,...

..... they sip fuel at the same rate as a CB 500 :shock: . Nigel B Certainly true. This weekend we had a '07 Blade, a 1200GS, Sprint ST, R6, Aprilia Falco, my GS and the F800. After 110 miles we'd all fill up and would all put in around 15 litres except for the F800 which would take about 7. Fright...

Penfold! If you're sure you want to sell the 12GS I'm still here with my wedge, but I think you should hang onto it. Suits you sir. :D Nab. The Firebolt was a revelation. Very similar to the GS as far as rev range and torque's concerned. Horrible at tickover and a disconcerting feeling that the clut...

Aggggghhh!!! I'm in love!

Got a group down this weekend. One on an F800. Tried it out yesterday down Cadwell-sur-Charente and then on the the esses (3 times). Absolutely LOVED it. OK, it's a little lacking in the power department (but then so is my GS) but the HANDLING! Straight out of the box and I was taking the esses as q...

FLUSH Tours - bringing new meaning to "watersports"

Waved goodbye to the latest group of stalwarts this morning. They left tired, but happy. Yesterday occurred the demndest thing.....We went to Oradour and as we left it began to rain. After 30 kms it was tipping it down and I abandoned the idea of stopping and putting on my wets. Those in the group w...

Actually (serious post now) the law has changed. "Priorité à droite" still exists but in the event of an accident the blame is now shared. It stops people with previous accident damage having it fixed FOC (you can just imagine them lurking at a crossroads).

Assuming that you have some friends (unlikely, I know :D ) sort yourself out, get over to the website, pick a date where I still have some slots left and come and put your money w...
