GS,GS,GS,GS,GS,GS (Hopeless troll)

[Chirpy]

All this talk of freaking overgrown German Dakar wannabees inspired me to do some research to see what all the fuss was about.

BMW R1200 GS

Air cooled 1170cc twin

Front 110/80x19

Rear 150/70x17

Wheelbase 59.8 inches

Length 87 inches

Seat height 33-34 inches


HD XL 1200R

Air cooled 1200cc twin

Front 100/90x19

Rear 150/80x16

Wheelbase 60.0 in

Length 90.1 in

Seat Height 28.1 in


So, raise the seat and put a skinny back tire on a Sportster and voila' you have a dirtbike! Maybe the Jerries should stick to beer!

Duckin',

Now, if Harley could just figure out how to keep from rattling my fillings out.

 

[Shortline]

They did! For 04, the sporty's are rubbermounted. No more numb hands, and, now you can actually USE the mirrors. Or, so Ive been told, havent ridden a new one yet.

The only remaining question is would you rather wear a 'stitch and hang out at Starbucks or dress like a pirate and go bar hopping? I'm going to Starbucks myself.

Hmmmm,

Do pirates wear fringe?

Although these might protect against sabre cuts
