It's a boxer and it isn't sporty.
But I am beginning to like it a lot.
Utterly packed with Gadgets and not to be owned out of warranty!

The GS was always an accomplished machine.........
But - I'm truly surprised at how young you look - I expected you to be older (and not wearing jim-jams )
Enjoy the bike - it will be able to show your average R1100s/R1200s a clean pair of heels.

Nice!
You should have the heavier flywheel too. Much nicer in traffic. Quite jealous...
I wish I had a quid for every time I've stalled mine in the rush hour in the big smoke.....
Top color choice too...

You don't like my 2 piece Al?
I did need to order the low seat.
I have been (unusually) a very good boy and not give it a kicking. 600 mile service on Saturday then Game on!
Its a very, very capable bike, although I preferred the engine on the Honda Crosstourer. The Triumph explorer engine was a lot more exciting, but the sort of exciting which may explode at any time.
I was sorely tempted by the Crosstourer, but the combination of weighing as much as a small moon and my short legs was not a confidence inspiring combination. It was very, very 'Honda' though, and considering I hated my VFR800....
I never intended on ordering a new bike, but a reasonable deal was stuck and I made an impulse purchase.
Need to get a set of crash bars now.

Lovely bike!!! But then I'm biased cos it's the same as mine!! Crashbars £291 and 20 minutes to fit. Get a headlight protector as well - those LED lights are about £800 to replace Wunderlich do one for £75 ish which folds down to clean the lense
