I've gone the other way, F800GS to R1100S. Loved the 8GS for great fun, impressive power band (for an 800 twin), sweet exhaust note, on on twisty B-roads in any weather it it'll take some beating.

Good tips from Dai I always do an internet search and have never paid anything like what the AA are quoting you.

I'm expecting a big increase in speed cameras in the UK as the KSI (killed & serious injury) stat's have gone up for this first time in quite a few years. This'll have the politicians panicking and I expect their solution will be cheap quick fix... Ie more cameras :evil: Personally I 'd go for m...

Stompgrips

Here's a pic of the Stompgrips, they don't do a kit for the R1100S so I went down to Demon Tweeks and one of the lads behind the counter checked through the various kits until we found one the suited. Went for the Honda 03-06 RC51 kit, as you can see from the photo it fits in well with the shape of ...

IMO the K1200R is a marmite bike in terms of looks, personally I love it :D Well, in the right colour it is. I took one out for a short test ride and loved it that much it turned into a much longer one :twisted: :D I had an F800GS at the time and would've part ex'd there and then if they'd have offe...
