Just bought one same colour here in Australia. Only gripe is the soft front suspension I’ll probably upgrade this and a pipe that’s stained beyond repair.

I've put 50k on mine (it's at 90k)...for me its that no road/track is out of bounds. Couple that with the telelever and the comfort and you just don't need to stop (does anyone want to stop a good thing). Nice film work (and enthusiasm)👍👌

I was also looking for a Kawasaki W800, A Triumph Speed Twin 900 and a Royal Enfield 650 interceptor but while they may more have the retro vibe they also weigh more and and have less power. The Kawasaki is lighter and more power. And if you don't look after these mentioned motorbikes the chrome will look very nasty.

Hi Two Wheel Tales, I own a 1100 GS by myself. I'm happy with that old baby! Can you give me some answers about your setup? First, what kind windshield are you using? Are you happy with it? What kind of tires you use for on/offroad. I'm about to install the Heidenau K60 Scout on my GS. And last question - whats that round gimmick with the "V" on your handlebar? Greetings Tafka
@two-wheel-talesАй бұрын
On the video you can see an MRA windscreen wind an added windbreaker on top of it. At this point I've replaced it with an original BMW windscreen because I broke the MRA while dropping the bike off road. It worked great for breaking the wind but I could not see as much as I wanted because of its height. The original windscreen provides me more value for the kind of riding I do. I've got two Metzeler Tourance tires on it, which provide a good mixture for enduro riding. I don't have anything to compare it to but I've got more than enough grip on road to keep up with the sporty bikes and I'm able to get trough very slippery muddy terrain off road. The V on my handlebar is the Beeline Moto navigation system, I think it's a great little navigation which provides me with all the information I need to go on an adventure and still get me home safe. Thanks Tafka! Much appreciated

The windscreen is great, it's from a brand called Puig. It does its job of breaking wind with highway speeds fine, but you should not expect any wonders of it. I think it's a great mix of looks and comfort without compromising on the retro vibe of the bike.
