I enjoyed my big GS on loads of great Arkansas paved and dirt roads this weekend. I dumped it two feet into a SLICK concrete water crossing because the water just pushed the tire right out from under me. Even with it upright and us holding it, the bike and us were sliding. The water was only 2" deep!! Then I later enjoyed it on a little gravel road that became and even smaller dirt road until we were dodging and ducking under low hanging branches while navigating deep rocky ruts. We eventually slid our way down an series of steep and tight switchbacks with a high pucker factor. Then we BLASTED through miles of perfect twisty pavement. I say we because Daniel was on the back with me the whole time having a great time! It may not be the perfect bike, but it sure is fun!! :rider:
 
Maybe, maybe not

Well... I was kind of sad when my final drive came apart on my 02 1150 GS. And, then I was kind of sad when the rear wheel brake rotor mounts came apart suddenly on my 05 1200 GS... But yeah, other than those few times... There's a reason I still have a 1200 GS :-P
 
One day if I'm lucky. Right now I'd have to trim now my stable way to much to justify a GS1200. I like my variety at the time.
 
Would like to see one of his mates on a 1200 GS following him through this :eek2:

I almost fell out of my chair a couple of times while watching this and trying to lean around trees and see over some of those rocks!! :shock:
 
Do tell... where is Green Mountain? :trust:

GS would need a really special bash plate to finish that hill with all of it's oil still in place. Don't ask how I know. :doh:
 
Found photo on FB, don't know details but couldn't ended good.

Some days you beat the hills... some days the hills beat you... :shock:
 
If my KTM sale goes through tomorrow, I'll be without a KTM first time since 2003, wow. Got 2 Beemers and a Honda, who would have thunk it.
 
Sooo... now that it is gone, is your stable stable? :-P

Or do you already have your eye on something else...? :cool2:

As of now only plan is to move one more. Anyone looking for a GS800 or R1200RS?:giveup:
 
WHAT!!?? I thought you loved the 800GS? Sell the R1200RS. You'll regret selling the 800GS :-P
 
I do love both of them. This mess with my knees is depressing now that I don't have good one, lol. But mainly I don't ride either one. The person I ride the most with will be out at least a year if he is ever coming back. That said nothing is listed yet, but I would listen. Time will tell.
 
But I no longer ride KTM:(
