Service & rear wheel

Evening Colm, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I wanted to make sure I got details right so waited till I had the paperwork in front of me. In answer to your questions : No, it hasn't had its 18000 mile service yet. It is actually booked in for it on 21st March at my local Motorrad Dealer...

*SOLD* R1200S for sale

Hi there, I'm looking to sell my R1200S. I think it's the best bike I've ever owned and still love it but it appears a long term right knee issue is getting worse and riding it is becoming increasingly less comfortable and even at times impossible. It is a 2007 registered model with ABS and full fac...

That's a cracking colour scheme. Love the all black engine and light to dark theme running from front to back.

Very nice and clean.
I recently spent 5 days riding round Wales on mine with 2 friends on GS's. You can guess whose bike got the most looks whenever we stopped :D

I'm happy with it (apart from putting it on the stand the wrong way round for the pics, oops!) although does anyone else's sound like the horn was pinched from a 50cc scooter? A few stone chips, a rather large one on the front mud guard but other than that nice and clean for its age I reckon. Grip F...

My new R1200S

Hi there, I've just sold my BMW r1200gs for this 12s. I ride because I love to, there is no reason for me to own a bike other than just because. The GS was awesome but with every sensor and gauge it had I started to loose some of that 'biker' feeling. I also, rightly or wrongly, felt just a little t...

Well, I've made the purchase and said goodbye to the GS.
After 250 miles I've added some Helibars, a double bubble screen, some techspec tank pads and of course some Boxertrix stickers :lol:
What a cracking bike, I'll get some pics posted when I've given it a clean.

Hi, I passed my advanced test with the IAM just over a year ago with my local group - http://ndamiam.wordpress.com/ and have nothing but good things to say about them, some of them even ride boxers :D For me, it was about making my ride as safe as I could and if anything it has made me smoother and ...

Thanks for the advise and the welcome! I have spent more than a few evening hours over the past couple of weeks looking in to modifications and realise this is a small and expensive world. One thing I may struggle to live without is my satnav so I will be trawling previous threads on here to see if ...

Newbie & almost a R1200s owner

Hi all, I'm very close to swapping in my 1200gs for S so thought I would come on and say hi. After spending a week at the TT I thought I was too young for the GS but love the boxer engine, I've also owned an r. I'm test riding on Friday a 2007 with standard package and an akrapovic exhaust. Any sugg...
