Thank's mate for great review! I just bought exactly similar GS on September. But mine has 90 000km . I was searching for lower milage bike but there were no such available. There is a notorious BMW guy here in Finland who's ridden 500 000km with old R100GS including two extremely hard Enduro races on winter. So I thought 90k isn't that much at all. I like this oil head twin cam better than new water cooled/shift cams. This is lighter, less complicated engine, kardan is on right side etc... and even motor oli - no need for clutch additives( glue ) so can use premium quality engine oil / gear box oil. I do the maintenance myself so those are issues. This is my 6th boxer Beemer and I intend to do most of my rides on this ( I also have K1600 for two on riding with my wife )

Its a great bike probably better than the water cooled in some respects

Great review of your time with the bike mate, is good to see it as dirty as mine! :D You are a braver man than me with road bias tyres and a heavy bike on that gloopy mud! 😁 Happy New Year RB 🙂

This would be the 2010 is that correct? We have a 2012 650GS we picked up with only 2,000 km. The plan is to ship it for overseas adventures and then get a bigger GS for North American adventures. Thanks for the review. Good to know the older GS' are still alright!

[@RedfordBaron]

Hi yes this is a 2010 model its been a good bike so far

[@YouMotorcycle]

@@RedfordBaron that's awesome. Have you tried any of the smaller GS'?

[@RedfordBaron]

@@YouMotorcycle no I’ve not they look good for a lighter bike probably better for off road riding

[@twintech100]

What a fantastic machine. 👍

[@RedfordBaron]

Thanks it really is a great bike

@@RedfordBaron I used to own a BMW R1200 GS Rallye 110 bhp 2012 the last of the air/oil cooled engine GS. I have also owned a R100 GS PD, a R nine t Urban GS. Now have a R nine t scrambler which I absolutely love and will probably keep...😎
