Arrived today

[GRAgusta]

So here we are, not a regular occurrence chez nous but a new bike arrived this morning, ten years since the last change to the two wheel fleet.

It has now done 55 miles, and it will be a keeper.

Super machine Gawaine very smart colour scheme. Will it be making an appearance at the Welsh weekend

[jeznewsome]

Very nice and at last a decent scheme for the 1205RS

Excellent choice. I'm having a test ride on one on Wednesday.

All the best

Very nice - and a jack of all trades.

The shiftcam engine appears to be reliable too.

Happy new bike Gawaine, that looks class Mate but why oh why such a BIG 'can' BMW ?

After 250 miles, and exploring the Dynamic settings on suspension and motor my verdict is that the RS is very sophisticated. I like it a lot. It most definitely will be coming to Wales.

It is part of the family.

Well Done Gawaine. A very savvie choice of BMW. It was pointed out that BMW made a massive effort to make the 2023 R1250`s different, aside from the best colour scheme , they changed the indicators

Emissions. I reckon it is still proportional to the bike though and tbqh the original chrome/ satin ones have a pleasant character to them and are a quality fabrication. They do eat up a bit of pannier space though.

I knew that, just wanted to 'vent'

Saw one at Douglas Park last week when I took first the r and then the XR for services. Very nice looking bike I gotta say and the can is better for seeing

After 553 miles and the first service ... the luggage has arrived ... so now Wales trip 2023 IS viable. See you all there, that are going.
