Had my 2013 GS since November and it’s by far the most comfortable bike I’ve ridden! People are entitled to their opinions about the GS, but I love it and really don’t care about the stereotyping. Like you said, there’s a reason why it’s such a popular machine!
I’m on my 3rd GSA. I’ve just (yesterday) ordered my 4th, a Triple Black 1250 GSA. My 2018 GSA that I’m trading in has been to 20 countries, covered 31000 miles and it still puts a smile on my face when I ride it! The only people who slate the GS either can’t afford one or have never had one.
I’ve been following your channel since before I passed my test last October. 3 bikes and 12000 miles later I ordered a new low suspension 1250 today. I hope I get to take mine on as many adventures as you’ve taken yours Andy. An inspirational channel by a thoroughly decent bloke. Thanks and keep up the good work sir.
Yes I have to agree with you, I have had many bikes over the years, but my 2020 1250 GS ADV TE exclusive is without doubt the most accomplished motorcycle I have ever owned, it just does everything so amazingly well. Hopefully when this awful pandemic is just a horrible memory I will do many touring miles on it. And I would just like to thank you for the time and effort you put into the videos you post on your channel, very informative. Stay safe...
You’ve kept it in beautiful condition. Congratulations! Ever since I watched your “Two buckets” method of cleaning a bike I’ve followed your practice. Thanks.
Have been watching your vids for a few months. Only got my GS in December and not done many miles due to lockdown, but your vids are tempting me further afield. The miles I have done I am really happy with the bike - I’m into biking for touring and visiting places. Nice round up of the bike.. keep them coming!!
I’m a 16 almost 17 year old girl who dreams of getting the GS1250. I have my CBT at the moment and I’m really looking forward to upgrading. My boyfriend is 17 and has his CBT and also loves the GS. I definitely haven’t ever thought of a GS as a “old persons bike”. Great bike and great video!
First you wheeled out the RE and I thought "What a lovely bike", then you wheeled out the Triumph and I thought "What a lovely bike", then you wheeled out the triple and....ah, you know the rest.
Don't forget the added 'hugger' rear mud guard ! Thanks to your channel I am also 13500 euros poorer. A 2018 R1200 GS. At 64, I wanted something more upright, but always thought the GS was just too enormous. Finally was convinced to take a test ride. After 10 meters I knew I had found the bike I wanted. Had tried a Multistrada and loved it, but the engine was a bit too jumpy. Had to go to the north of France to pick it up, then rode it from Nancy to Marseille in the rain and fog to bring it home. The bike handled it all like a champ. Thanks again for the channel, good work ! Ciao!
I'd love to own a GS and will someday soon hopefully. I think they look, sound great and I don't understand the haters. PCP ain't for me so it's a saving game for now. Thanks again TMF, enjoyed that one.
The good thing about PCP is that there are lots of well maintained GS' on the market Colin! Get yourself a decent second hand TE for £10K and enjoy some else's depreciation.....
I want a BMW but the high cost/maintenance and dealer only repairs have kept me from owning one. My Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki bikes almost never fail me. My highest maintenance bike is a can am spyder. It costs more to run but I love it.
I must admit when I saw the video on how to change the clutch in a GS, I decided then and there I’d never own a BMW R bike lol. Besides I don’t need a 1.2L+ adventure bike; the F’s are big enough and light enough for me...though I’d take a tiger 900 over any of the current line up.
Totally wrong about that! The only reason to take it to the dealer is because it is under warranty! If not, you can do your own maintenance easier than most other bikes. Like, you can do your own valves on the gs, did you try a Japanese bike? Also, the cluch on the water cooled bikes is in the front and easily accessible!. I don't get married to any bike,if something is better I'll change in a instant!
@@12masterr I only took mine in for the 600 mile check because it was free and they unlocked the rest of the rider modes and took off the governor. I know I could have easily done it myself but it was free. 🤷♂️
@@Tomahawkfalcone funny I bought a goldwing last summer. I’ve wanted one for years and it’s a very reliable touring machine. I did my first Iron butt in October 1156 miles in 20 hrs. April I’m doing over 1500 in 24hrs
Apologies if it came across that way - I included that section because I wanted to show off the Guardsman barrier, when I watched it back I too thought it might be a bit much, sorry about that....
@@TheMissendenFlyer @TheMissendenFlyer ohhhhh ok. No worries, been watching a long time & you don't usually show off so it's cool lol Besides, there're some good horses in your stable anyway & who doesn't like to see the horses 😅 Oh & nice guardsman then.. looks useful.
Just a bloody show off ! On a another note I'm thinking of getting one. I was going to get the 1200gs with tft 2018 onward especially after watching fortnine review but for poss a 1k more I could get the 1250gs interested in your thoughts ?
@@nickholmes2464 only £1k more for the 1250 that can't be right are they both like for like? Unless the person selling the 1200 is being greedy with the asking price.
A superb fully comprehensive and unbiased review. I'm more of an FJR man, but I appreciate the many missions a bike like this can offer. Take care and let's hope we can get out riding again soon.
The image of that bike here in Michigan is a snobby old man's bike; just being honest. It isn't just the UK. The reality is horses for courses, tools for the job at hand. I've seen some of the journeys you have shared with that bike and IMHO - you did well with that one. Supermachine.
I’m definitely a GS/BM admirer but I wouldn’t spend £18/20k on a new one and would be afraid of the maintenance costs of a used example, which are still relatively expensive. One day though 🤔 Many thanks for the comprehensive and detailed review, as always 👍
Great video! At 29, I'm hoping to drop the average age of people who own GS by a few years! Of course because of the price like you mentioned mine is the 96' 1100GS but it still counts! :)
Great retrospective review, TMF! I've just bought an RT... another bike that comes with an image problem, old mans bike etc. But frankly , i don't care coz a) I think it looks great, b) it's the most awesome bike I've owned, c) its waaaayyyyy more sporty that anyone (excpet RT riders) gives it credit for. Roll on Covid-free times!! 👍
Whatever anyone says this bike will always appeal to the childhood appreciation of Street Hawk and I loved riding my 2008 version! Have the KTM1190 adventure now just for because i wanted that pedigree..... Thanks another great video - you don’t make a bad one do you! 🤙🏻
@@maxflight777 its not true, ive had a vstrom before the gs. reliable, yes. good big no. It was not comfy and the wind buffeting was extrem. ive tried 6 windshields, and no luck. if you are above 186cm then you are lost.
@@joshuapedlow6209 in your dreams maybe. better no, maybe cheaper. suzuki is still in the last century with vstrom's. just check the electronics, the ergonomy, etc etc i know ive switched from the vstrom to an older gs, and still better.
Hi TMF! without wishing to be too controversial. you identify the steering damper as a new addition incorporated on your bike's model year. I think it is worth mentioning the occasional tank slappers earlier versions had without this additional item.
Have exactly the same bike. Mine is a first gen, with no damper. It feels as good as they day I bought it, and see no reason to upgrade. 37K miles, no corrosion, and it still runs very well. Only issues I have had was with the switchgear. All was repaired at no charge both in and out of warranty. A fantastic machine.
An accurate review as usual Andy. I've had 3, a 2016 1200, 2018 1200 and a 2020 1250. Things I found better/worse across the 3 were the 1st one seemed more agile than the 2nd, that may have been down to the v1 and v2 suspension. The Gearbox on the 2nd was better than the 1st and if you're of a certain age the TFT is definitely worth in with all the speed cameras about as the old style clocks can be difficult to read. Across all 3 the GSAP is worth having, the SOS button can be a PITA bringing up warnings on the TFT because it's lost the mobile signal. The hillhold on the 1200 is a bit naff as it takes a good fistful of throttle to overcome it. The 1250 is a better bike than the 1200, aside from the engine being more powerful everywhere it's smoother too. Things like the GSAP and hillhold are better too so if I was looking for a used GS I'd go for a 2016 or earlier or the 1250.
I don't care about image really but there is something to it. I just bought one, I'm 30yo (1250 from 2020). Got good deal on it so I took it. Thought about this and 1290 adv r. Beemer is easier to ride and better for 2up (important for me) and it is outstanding upgrade for me as I was previously on middleweight naked from 2006. Also the thing that when offroading this elephant is easier to pick up than other elefants is also relevant imo, if of course, somebody wants to take it offroad. Lastly the avability of the 1290adv in poland was not that great when I was shopping for one so it sealed the deal (probably new model will appear soon). KTM is definitelly more of a hotrod, bmw will I think be equal to it, up to maybe 140km/h but there is no option for it to keep the pace in higher speeds. Maybe the next one will be KTM, who knows :) I definitely like both brands and their ideas for different things.
If you buy an 1150 now days you are buying a cult bike 😄. Everybody is weaving and stand still to watch an older model. So just have to wait a few years before the Beemer 1200 gets a smile on his face. Nice video thanks 👌
Absolutely loving your videos during lockdown, keeping me sane haha. One note though, I actually prefer the non-wide angle lens on the phone camera during the walk around, your usual is wide as it is, and it was always nice for the phone section to be a closer look at the bike. Just a thought! Keep up the amazing work mate
Great bike, I'm currently 4 episodes into the Artic Circle tour videos you made and sat debating trading my V4Tuono Factory in for an adventure bike.. My friend has just bought a 1200 tiger and he wants to do longer trips that my Aprilia probably would like but my knees/wrists wouldn't. Subscribed and Enjoying the videos, Thanks TMF
With all the memories you have with this bike, I'd probably keep it forever, even if it's only as a memento in the garage. Always love to see people love their bikes, thanks for the video Andy!
As a Gs owner agree with your comments, they just do everything well. I’ve started to find it a little heavy moving around & getting off side stand, and the latest ones aren’t any less weight, but otherwise brill. Good honest review 👍
Got off my 1250 and rode a rusty poorly maintained 1200 high miler from 2013. It handled and rode superbly! Says a lot really ... (gearbox clunky but even the new one isn’t the best). A GS ticks 15/20 boxes for me... it’s missing excitement/ bonkers acceleration., it’s heavy, not a wheelie machine or sexy but can’t think of another bike that scores 15.
I've never ridden a GS,but must do that when I have the opportunity.I appreciate your feedback as a GS owner TMF.Owner experience on a machine is valuable information to have.Thank you for sharing yours here.👍👍
It's an interesting one isn't it I've had a 1200gsa te 2014 spec one which I absolutely loved did some big tours on what let it down was the reliability, first day the clock assy failed, then in year 2 it went in for a service they left the rocker gasket off and it trashed the engine, that was followed up by another 2 engines then swiftly by another gearbox after the 2nd replacment engine had a box full of neutrals, then a final drive. I dread to think of the cost if it hadn't been on warranty. Left me with no gs for 7 months while it was all ongoing. If it hadn't been for it being on finance I would have been left to deal with it by myself. Since then I've had a f800gs (headstock bearings were a pain) an I've ran my 1967 Norton 650ss for the past 3 years inc winter riding and its been perfectly reliable. I agree with your lists of positives and negatives tbh it's a shame they can't get the gearbox better, the one on my Norton an 350lc is like silk crazy to think how much older they are compared to the gsa. Would I have another GSA yep but I'd self service the issues I had apart from the dash were all caused by the BMW dealer network. Oh an the esa rear shock failed on mine to. Out of interest do you have any idea how much you have spent on servicing and extended warranty over the period you have owned it? An what have you got on the clock now I had 18k on mine :)
I’ve tried quite a few bikes since I retired recently, (Honda Dominator, street triple 765RS, Kawasaki Versys, Multistrada 950s) and they all had issues for me. The last 2 were a bit top heavy and I’ve almost dropped one of them. I had a test ride on the R1250GS and it was another level,well balanced and low down weight and confidence building when coming to a stop. So I traded I the Multistrada and bought a GS. Thanks for the great tips on your Chanel.
Great Vlog, yet again. I ended up buying my GS1250 after watching you vlogs in Scotland and Norway. I’ve always been a sport bike rider, but must say the GS is the best all round bike I’ve ever owned. Just got too get some tours in once covid buggers off. Keep the excellent Vlogs coming.
Iv got an early 2016 GS , bought it a year old with 3000 on it , now got 38000 on it ,trouble free ,a few marks but I like that ,shows it’s used , no intention of changing it , unless you use finance or pcp I don’t see the point in keep changing just for a newer reg plate ,
Nice review, Andy. I have to say if I had to choose one bike it would be a beemer and the GS would be near if not top of the list. No bike is perfect but this is pretty close. Your Norway tour was a great watch by the way and a good advert for the bike 👍🏻
currently am finding my self being “drawn to the dark side” by thinking of switching from my beloved 2012 Triumph Explorer to an early LC GS. Them boxers came long way since my old 1100RT. I adore my big cat, 85k km and never missed a beat, but unfortunately the brakes are crap on it and for off-road it’s really a bit to top heavy, plus since I hate chains there is nowhere else to go really. Nice vid Andy, quite helpful 👍
Definitely glad I’ve found this channel. One of the positive experience of Lockdown number whatever! Great review Mr. Fly. Serious piece of bike for £8,000. Really enjoy used motorcycle reviews about iconic bikes. Great professional quality! Better than anything on the telly. Bikes save lives! Looking forward to the next video. Thanks 🙏
Really useful video Andy - thanks. My GS turns up in two weeks and I can see me buying things for it all next year. I’m 6ft1 so I expect the MRA vario screen will get bought fairly soon!
Agricultural gear box = proper farm implement! I have the 2012 cam head R1200GS Rallye and it has been a trustworthy companion since day 1. These bikes are very easy to self-maintain and that has been key for me to reduce ownership cost. Nice and thorough review as usual!
Thanks for another great vlog TMF.. just bought my first GS.. 2019 1250 Rallye TE with less than 1k miles on clock so almost brand new.. ive came from a S1KR and S1KRR before that.. over 50 now so time to chill out and take it easy... looking forward to a break in the weather so I can actually ride her.. dreading the stigma they get.. as you say "old man's bike etc"... thanks again.. take care..
I agree with one of your comments I bought my first Gs 1250 last year aged 74 and absolutely love it after saving for a a while and I acknowledge all riders but there a few riders who don’t bother to reciprocate after all we’re all enjoying biking
Brilliant video and great timing. I ordered a new 1250GS and yes it's $$$, but I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks for making awesome content and being the standard that others compare to. Nice job.
Good review, I have several GS models in the garage, an air cooled, water cooled and now a 750. The biggest gripe I have about the 1200 is the very light front end with a pillion and luggage almost feels as if the wheel is just brushing the road, not a problem when riding only noticeable at slow speed where the control can be difficult. The 750 is actually better in this respect possibly the fact it’s 2” longer wheelbase.
Enjoyed hearing about your experience with your GS TMF. I’ve now clocked up just over 85’000kms on mine. Like you I’ve had two sets of the Metzler Roadtec 01s & enjoyed them, although with full panniers & my wife on board I didn’t get the mileage you received. Around 10’000kms for the rear & probably around 15,000 for the front. Now running Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2s. Mainly due to Covid & the lack of choice & supply of various tyres at the moment. Given I ride gravel roads as well as the tar the 90/10 road/gravel tyre has been fantastic & they also seem to tip into bend a lot quicker. Stay well. 👍🏍🛩🇦🇺
Don't know if you remember a great journalist called Kevin Ash? Kevin was sadly killed on the 2012 BMW GS launch and at the time mystery surrounded the exact cause of the accident.
Yes I was a huge fan - and wonder if that was the real reason the steering damper found its way into the GS (I was thinking of Kevin as I filmed that part).....
Bought mine second hand a couple of years ago largely because of watching your clips ( had a 800gs previously), at first didn’t like the gear change even with quick shift and took a bit of time to get used to it not diving under braking. Two years on and I’d love a change of bike but I think I’ll have to have a second bike because I can’t bear to part with it, I quite often hear the “grandad bike” thing but that’s ok I am a grandad. 400 miles in a day only 130 motorway coming home from Scotland in comfort all the way. Completely agree, one bike does everything really well.
After recently starting a RU-vid channel, yourself, Mr lamb chops and spicy110 make the editing look so easy. Would love to maybe get together in the future, maybe get you on the harley. Love the content my friend, keep up the hard work!!! ...love the bike however personally I've never liked the red strip. But that's just me.
This was a very helpful review. I'm actually about to head over to a shop to look at a 2015 and that bit about things to look out for was outstanding. Cheers!
You forgot the very important mod for any offroad GS lover: the amazing kickstand enlargement plate :P //- click here to enlarge your .... kickstand -// hahaha EDIT: I been looking for those jeans, but not sure if Sportsbikeshop still ships outside of UK now post brexit :(
@@maxflight777 Sadly I have nothing to do with them - they don't sponsor me - I just think they are an excellent supplier with good prices and excellent service...
@@TheMissendenFlyer the free trade applies only for the goods made or partly made in UK. I don't remember what was the percentage which should be UK made.
@@TheMissendenFlyer. There’s been plenty of online discussion about shipping and customs disruption that has been going on. Hopefully, it’s just temporary...
Just a brilliant vid Andy. I’ve watched you tour on that bike so much over the past four years or so, I feel I’ve ridden the old girl myself! Anyway it’s still going strong but seems to spend a great deal of time in the garage nowadays - just let me know if you plan a sale, please. Love the comment about the knob moving the wind shield - a gem I thought. Yours aye, Alan
You need to watch an Australian movie called "the castle"..... I had to get the Keys to The Kingswood, so I could move the Torana to get to the commodore......
What timing you have Andy... I’ve traded my 2004 GS for F900XR and I’m doing the changeover tomorrow arvo after waiting 2 months. I know I’m going to miss the GS so I hope the XR will be worth it. I absolutely recommend GS’s even if they are horrendously expensive in Aus ( I just bought a New Nissan X-Trail cheaper than the GS is. Anyway I’ve had a wonderful 16 years on the GS and surprised plenty of sports bike riders when I’ve kept up with them 2 up, or ridden around them 1 up! Hope I’m not going to get seller’s regret cos I still miss the VFR800 I traded for the GS. Great review as usual, hang tough in lockdown, we survived it in Melbourne, all the best.
Cheers Ant - wow more expensive than the car, crazy!!! ...and well done to the Aussies for keeping COVID under control, if only our government would learn from others, can't believe what a hash of it ours has made.....always too little too late...anyway, I won't get started (and generally I am a Boris fan!!)....
Great video as usual, when you mentioned your back brake seized, you reminded me of a similar kind of problem (BMW 1200 GS 2017). May be it something we should be aware of. My front brake got fully locked, while parked, that was a month later after the dealer service on that day I phoned the AA who bled some oil from the caliper which seemingly sorted the problem then 2 month later the same happened again on the last day of my extended warranty. This time I phoned BMW warranty who collected the bike. Then I got a phone call from the dealer saying that everything is fine, it was just some residues and dirt on the brake pads!!! Still waiting for the bike to be delivered back. Lets hope that is the end of that problem. Thank TMF, I look forward for your next video.
Loved my 2005 R1200GS, but didn't love the cost of servicing nor the cost of replacing the ABS 'brick'. A known issue (by BMW) but as it was out of warrantee, eyewateringly expensive. Not sure I would pay the price of a new one now.
Andy you have to take the GS to Ireland.... When restrictions are eased.... The roads on the Wild Atlantic Way are perfect for biking, especially Donegal, Mayo, Galway and Kerry. A couple of Star Wars filming locations along the way as well
Excellent video and a valuable endorsement for the advantages of longterm ownership over chasing the latest models. Interesting to see the various improvements you've made over the years. Will you ever change it for a newer model (or a different bike)?
Hollywood made a movie called Jewel of the Nile . Andy makes a short movie about his GS that I would call... The Jewel of Great Missenden .. No I don't own a GS but have an air cooled R1200R . If you like a certain bike then how old you are is immaterial . Back in the day a Guzzi 850T3 was probably classed as an old man's bike ,but I owned one when I was 23 yrs old .Loved it so much, despite poor quality electrics at times, that I shipped it out to NZ
In 2012, having only recently bought a new 1250 Suzuki, when out of the blue, a work collegue rang, fancy a ride out, just bought my self a new bike, we agreed a meet up place, I was there 1st, not knowing what bike he had bought, his last was a 1200 Triumph Trophy, he came in to view, 1200 GS BMW, you ride behind in case we pass any mates, they will crucify me, after about 60 miles, we pulled up in a car park at Sands End (north of Whitby), after giving each others bike the one over, I wasnt impressed, but didnt tell him, your turn to lead, on our way back over the moors, a natorious steep hill lie up front, I just couldnt believe the pick up of his bike, not speeding at all, but left me for dead up Blue Bank!! his bike has all the bells and whistles, large tank, he has toured with it down to Spain, across most of Europe, Norway, Sweden, he still has it in 2021, loves it, has it serviced at main dealers every time, had big break downs like rear diff letting go, and like you rear suspension, my Suzuki is long gone.
Interesting video as usual 👍 ... I’m having ‘tidy garage’ envy and feeling guilty about mine! 😱 How about a garage tour of the various racking/benches etc that you’ve used to keep it so tidy?? 👍
@@TheMissendenFlyer lol maybe so but it’s a darn sight tidier than mine! 😱 .. Could be a perfect lockdown video 👍 (you could be the tidy garage guru 😆)
hey , happy to share that : I Finally bought all new BMW R 1250 GS pro , Its super amazing ,, I had consulted with you regarding Buying GS vs Tiger 1200 few years back ..
Yes I'm not sure what the cause was - might just be that my poor ol' GS tends to sit in the garage for a long time between being used - one of the unintended consequences of being a motorcycling RU-vidr....I rarely get to ride my own bikes!
I heard it so many times. A GS is for old guys etc.etc.. I said similar things a couple of years ago. After riding a GS I changed my mind. Its just a superb bike and worth every penny. I give a s**t what others think.
I’m currently re-re-re-watching your Artic Circle tour, funny but I don’t recall you going through Belgium as mentioned here? I must keep nodding off at that point 😴. On a bleak UK winter morning it’s great to see Norway with blue skies and 32C ! 🇬🇧🏍
You do make me chuckle. Nice review. You didn't say how many miles your GS has done, now even more because you filmed this last summer? You have certainly looked after it. Your meticulous application ACF50 has done it's job. You and 44Teeth are going head to head on GS ownership at the moment.
This model and colour looks better IMO than the current offer, it also probably has fewer cost reduction initiatives and gimmicks like shift-cam and the like. The leaves are out early in Great Missenden this year! Cheers TMF
In the Midwest (USA) the highest selling segment in the metric market are adventure bikes. The reason is simple, they are fast, comfortable, versatile and have a lot of suspension travel. I ride the VStrom 1000 for the weight, style and cost/benefit.
Visited motorcycle live yesterday and all the new adventure bikes where there and my mate who doesn’t own a gs turned around to me and said about them all it’s not a gs. Says it all really. 👍
I'm a one year owner of a 2014. GS and the main concern I have is that it has ruined all other bikes for me. I honestly don't know what I would pick next knowing that I can ride one of these again?!? It was love at first ride... As for servicing costs, I do most of the stuff myself which is quite easy if you have minimal mechanical knowledge, some tools and patience. The engine is 93 year old tech so it's really simple and easy to work on. Electronics are a bit of a worry but I'm prepared to deal with it if it ever comes up. The parts are maybe a bit pricey but that's BMW for you... I hear that the cost of ownership is much higher on their inline 4 and 6 bikes than this, is that true? tl;dr: I LOVE IT! :) Cheers!
Another great review Mr Flyer, I have tried for years to not want a Gs, but it’s catching me up and is gradually become difficult to not buy one, oh dear I can’t believe I’m saying this in writing!, BTW I’ll wave at you if I See you out and about on the big beast!
Your bikes are very clean. Well done. I cannot stand those who allow rust keep them dirty and do no maintenance. They just don’t understand it is only two wheels what keep your bam out of scratch... if i can and to the GS image in UK i never get wave back from GS rider and most of them here Aberdeenshire drive with full panniers with sticker on it from all over the Europe, Africa while having 2000 /3000 miles on clock lol. See them in bmw service and always laugh how the hell you can visit Greece, Spain, Morocco and have 3000 miles on clock. Most GS drivers are the one who had - The One Famous high vest - Polite lol
Hi Andy ,Fantastic review as usual ,looking forward to you visiting Ireland someday ...just wondering what sat nav system you were using in the review . Keep safe and thanks for all the great tips and reviews :)
Extremely envious when you were taking your bikes out of the garage at the beginning. Good very long term review, quite fancy one of these but think it will be too much after eventually passing my test. Interestingly my instructor doesn't seem to think so though.
@@TheMissendenFlyer Not the power that would concern me but definitely the weight although a number of his more mature students have bought them as a first bike
Was looking at this generation GS but think Mr Flyer has hit it on the head. I've always thought it's an old boys bike. Very tempted by the S1000xr instead haha. Got a year left on a Tracer 900 Gt so I'll wait and see - Great video as always boss
Nice bike. Thanks for sharing. Hoping my 1250 GSA looks half that nice after I've had it for 7 years. Not likely after I ride the Dempster Highway to Tuktoyaktuk this summer.
I have a 2018 BMW R1200 GS TE with the tft, I have done most of the mods you did because they made sense, I didn't get the BMW side lights but got some knock offs from Ebay that work perfectly and cost about £25 the pair , I think you forgot to mention the Denali sound bomb ( again I fitted that ) :)
