Make sure that it's had the gearbox mods. That's about it. The rest should be bulletproof. Have fun! Come down here and I'll critique it for you

hi
did use a gs1150 for three winters in the rain and crap only, painted it with waxoyl and heavy gear oil , no issues with it at all ,loved the bike just needed to be more powerful . in another way maybe that's good for the winter . done 1200 miles on it .didn't even clean it for 3 years . when i did clean it ,no rust . the only thing i did not like was the weight of it and it was to tall ,stumbled a few times with it .scary moments. these things are built for 6ft plus people and 15 stone . traded it in for a ktm sm 950 . really wish that i could of kept it as well .

Hey Flash, down your way next Sep. Touring with a group of friends they are off over to Corsica for 5 nights (bollox to beach holidays) Amanda and i are heading down to Sorrento -usual stuff that women like, 2nd World War battle sites, pondering the Golden Age of Facism, ancient ruins, cheap pensions (accomodation that is) and long days in the saddle where i get us totally lost and in to all kinds of scrapes. Were doing that Route Nelson job and leaving them at Nice then picking them up at Pisa on the way back. So if youre not to far off and around we will look you up.
Kind regards Chris.

Route NAPOLEON, Route NAPOLEON!!!!! You'll have me shot! m'afraid we're a tidy schlep from the Rhone valley (that's "Rhone", not "Rhondda") me ol' mucker. A good 6 hours away. Looks like you'll just have to bite the bullet and come down here another time, special like.

Check out the site. We can squeeze you in somewhere AND give you a cuppa

Mon ami... -sardonique. Route Nelson we go riding in a whippin and a whoppin.. but my Geography is crap i thought you were not that far off that corner anyway thanks for reply but it is possible Chris.

Well Gentlemen the Deal has been done. I am now feeling pretty pleased with myself aquiring a low cost veritable steed for our touring needs. I bought the 95 Model (2 prev. owners) in Black with ABS,HG, Panniers,Top Box from a Gentleman in Chesire. It is a fine example and i am looking forward to a trip i have organized for Sagalouts up to Oban and Gairloch in April. Thanks for your valued input to my post.
