Here's the list of today's bikes I had a look at.
R1200GS adventure.
Tiger 1050 and 955i
V strom 1000
Fjr 1300
Sprint GT.
The 1200 GsA is enormous! And I could barely lift it off its side stand!
Tiger 1050. The luggage was that big that there was no room for your pillions feet!
Same with the Sprint GT.
Vstrom was a bit lardy, and just looked wrong!
Tiger 955 looked too old hat!
Fjr. It felt Light even when stationary, loads of room for pillion and me. It's looking favourite so far.
Also went out with 17yo daughter for a ride to the lakes this afternoon on the gen 1. Her backside was killing her after about an hour into the 150 mile ride, and she seized up almost solid by the time we got there!
No ST1300 then? You can get 'em for less than £4K!
