dick65 0 Posted July 17, 2011 welcome to the forum nice old bike you got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrambler 0 Posted July 17, 2011 Thanks guys, I do love the GS it might be heavy but feels nice on the move, very little gear changes and engine like a sewing machine. I rode an RM500 on the dirt for a couple of seasons and I enjoyed that monster too. Then I got a new 250 and it was just too quick off the mark for me - hence the bail out and enforced layoff.I think I would do the same on a 600 sports bike !!!!!At almost 65 I need to be realistic eh.

Why? Bikes go as quick as you make them. If you fancy a 600, then at least go and look, possibly test ride one and see how you feel.

The GS has no place for a sandwich even and I find the wind and bumpy roads at speed are the limiting factor. 140mph? no chance!!!! bad enough at 70!!! (ish)Thanks for the greetings folks, hope I can get to meet a few of you one day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
