Hi there welcome to my Channel Caledonian Biker.
l want to share with you my recent motorcycling experience on this video, a montage of pictures taken by myself whilst l was processing my purchase of the all new much awaited BMW R1300GS.
I will take you through the initial viewing of the various models and colours at Douglas Park, Motorrad BMW, Glasgow. Providing some facts and figures along the way.
This is a vast information gathering exercise to say the least that I had to process, with the various 4 different colour options to choose from to begin with.
Then the bikes have over 100 options that can be purchased to accessorise your new shinny motorcycle.
I then move onto the test riding of Park's Demo Bike a Triple Black version.
(Always TRY before You BUY)
After my exhilarating test ride it's then onto the configuration of my desired machine.
I found the standard bike a bit cramped for my 6' 4" frame so with the vast experience and assistance of the Douglas Park BMW Motorrad Sales Team I was paired up with in my opinion the ideal bike in every way for myself and my type of riding.
(Thanks guys you were 5* STAR)
Then came the buying, after a good trade in price for my outgoing R1250GS TE I was ready to roll.
Now we move onto the collection of my new machine at the dealership which all went smoothly and off I went with a full tank of fuel.
So finally I'm here, I've got my all new, all singing, all dancing, BMW R1300GS Trophy Enduro version.
Now the running in process begins for the first 600 or so miles.
The riding experience of this all new much anticipated motorcycle even whilst running in is to say the least just simply incredible.
I accessorised my bike with several options to suit my height and riding style, here are my purchases to date. :-)
Namely :-
(i) Sports Suspension -
which includes Dynamic Suspension Adjustment. This gives a further 30mm of travel to the suspension with a longer spring travel to optimise traction both on sealed and unsealed roads.
(ii) Forged Enduro Wheels -
these are almost 2kg lighter than the standard wheels and give a much more sporty appearance. The wheels are first cast and then forged for added strength with a high-quality surface adorned with the various BMW branding thereon.
(iii) Enduro Pack -
which includes handlebar risers, adjustable gear and brake pedals, shorter sportier hand levers, lowered foot pegs (if desired) and an extended heavier duty bash plate.
With these particular addon's to suit myself I felt the bike was right for me, I also increased the inner padding seat height on the riders seat to give me more height and as l stated earlier the Enduro pack foot pegs can be adjusted lower which I did,
l hope you enjoyed my journey of making my purchase and the things that l found out along the way, which l have shared with you.
