Partly thanks to your channel I now have one just like this sitting in my shed Beautiful machine Just wish I could ride it more! It’s pretty much a carbon copy of yours too Owned previously by the same person for 21 years Still in touch with him now

@adaptableadventurerider 5 месяцев назад

That's absolutely awesome! Glad you found the right bike :) they are so inspiring to ride arnt they I'm absolutely loving mine now! Can't beat that owner wise always good to get one that's been owned long term.

@TheThejpmshow 5 месяцев назад

@@adaptableadventurerider they really are I can’t bring myself to watch the video where yours had those expensive issues, that’s such bad luck - I hope you managed to get some recompense from the seller for that I got that slightly wrong, it’s 21 years old, previously owned for 19 - still a long time 😁

@adaptableadventurerider 5 месяцев назад

Thanks mate really appreciate the reply! I'm really falling in love with her now. :) that I've sorted her out.

@adaptableadventurerider 5 месяцев назад

Oh yep thats a really long time very awesome! Luckily my dad ended up helping me with the funds otherwise I would have had to sell her spares or repairs as I'd spent everything I had buying her. Just looking forwards now with her an many adventures to come.

Monsal Head! lovely part of the world and a great pub. Moved to Australia from Chapel en le Frith four years ago so don't have to put up with any of that 'it's -3' nonsense anymore. Currently researching my next bike suitable for mainly long distance with a bit of off-roading and wondering how many of us have arrived at this clip via Long Way Round. Cracking show and a legendary machine. I think I've decided which bike to get! - Thanks!! :-)

@adaptableadventurerider 2 месяца назад

Thanks David no problem at all glad you enjoyed it an the clip brought back some memories for you :) an yep aha great pub been to it many times to warm up unfortunately was shut that night o.o I bet Aus is amazing a friend of mine moved out there an the riding looks truly awesome quite a bit different to the trail riding I've been doing on the Tenere 700 I got for dad an I! I'm really gonna miss my 1150 unfortunately my dads got stage 3+ advanced prostate cancer so a few bikes have had to be sold off as we are downsizing the house the 1150s next on the list but I keep holding off from doing it. Such is life I think it say's alot about it. One of those Iconic machines! If you can track one down as they are rare get a factory none abs like mine or look at the earlier single spark if you want the abs just steer clear of the servo brakes. I think the 1150 edges the T7 for long distance but the T7 is the better trail bike all swings an round abouts an different pros an cons been an interesting few months :)

I took delivery of one of these for a friend back in 2003! I had a single garage and this bike is so big, it took up the whole garage! Too big and heavy for my liking!

@adaptableadventurerider 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for taking the comment I bet that was super cool seeing one new! Yep they sure are a big motorcycle an the weight is something you have to be aware off as I mentioned at the end. Completely different to the Honda 300 Rally I had previously (had GS's in the past) it's certainly an experience :)

There is no problem with ABS II I had on mine R1150GS white and blue 2001 to 2018, it's ABS III had many costing problem (to replace). Put on it transparent sticker front light protection, my friend and me had to change it because a stone break the light.

@adaptableadventurerider 5 месяцев назад

Thanks mate yep I forgot about the earlier single sparks with abs II it's a shame BMW moved in the servo brakes on the twin sparkers. My dad's German car got scrapped from the same era after servo brake failiure. Wasn't cost effective to repair. That's a good idea on the headlight I used to have a clear cover on my 2018 gs Rallye. Thanks for taking the time to comment. :)
