Vlog 42 - New Bike?

[@markkthemk]

Earlier this year I bought a 1200 GS (not adventure) from 2008, 105K, 3 set vario cases, new tyres, simple crashbar, ABS (no traction control or ESA) in good condition and 1 year warranty for a little over 6000. So something similar for the GSA version with more rugged cases and protection/crashbars and features in the 8000 range is realistic. I'm also from NL.

The adventures are always a bit more expensive, this only did 58K km and had all the bells and whistles. Never the less the almost 9K was over-asking... Especially considering it needed service and new tires. How do you like your 1200?

Is it big upgrade enought to think change to 1200gsa from 1100gs. I've been thinking to change but somehow I just love 1100gs reliability and how it runs clean. I'm bit afraid to switch newer bike due to their price and possibility to get bad bike where I have to spend even more money in long run.

I'm a bit on the same page, as I explained I'd an event coming up that I wanted to do. The 1200, especially the '08 & '09, are pretty good as well. Like a sophisticated 1100. But it's pretty pricy, especially with the outstanding work on this bike. Came down to having a newer bike, with some additional features like ABS & ESA, that rides better (but not 10k worth of money better). It's not the huge leap forward as the 1250 GS is

What's wrong with Rhino?

[@M0Tourist]

It's in the 2nd part of the video. Red Rhino didn't run right, after my mechanic changed the throttle cables it cut out during a test ride. Turned out that it was something in the fuel system, either the distribution or the quick disconnects....
