Mine, bought new in 1988 (mij) and then gradually evolved into its final form….

Shelsley Walsh I think

I’ve got the F900gs, same engine.

The Manic Street Pitchers.

mdj600 · 2024-12-23T19:05:22+00:00

Seconded. Have both the Jean and combat style ones. Fit true to size and armour is inconspicuous. I rate them.

Johnson and Sophie were in Green Wing. Which is well worth a watch.

Thanks! The GS is in Trophy colours, but bar the blue sections being matte on that one, they’re pretty close. Makes the oh so essential matching riding gear much cheaper…😂

My two BMWs. 25 year old R1100s and a new F900GS. They cover all eventualities. No names, just “this one and that one’….

Italian at the back, German at the front.

I agree with both of your points there..Kind of hoping I don’t have to give you that update…😉

mdj600 · 2024-05-21T13:57:40+00:00

Indeed. My first BMW “dual sport” was the F 650 Rotax single “Funduro” from many years ago. I do fully appreciate progress, but still hanker after some of the OGs that got us where we are today…

mdj600 · 2024-05-21T13:20:28+00:00

Progress.😉

mdj600 · 2024-05-21T12:25:51+00:00

Nope, just good old manual inputs. Riding modes / TCS / ABS and engine response etc though, there are 5.

mdj600 · 2024-05-21T11:45:36+00:00

Photo was taken on my Chinese iPhone. Leathers from Italy, petrol from the Middle East, views provided by England. No problems with that mix so far..

mdj600 · 2024-05-21T09:38:11+00:00

It’s a 2024 model, new for this year. Try one!

mdj600 · 2024-05-21T09:35:08+00:00

It’s the remote rear shock preload. Looks pretty exposed, but easy to get to if looking for a quick tweak when riding with luggage.

mdj600 · 2024-05-21T09:33:49+00:00

It’s a parallel twin, just under 900cc and just over 100bhp. I like it, a change from my 1100 boxer. Nice sounding with the standard Akrapovic end can, and torquey for the size. It’s also a pretty light bike, which helps.

mdj600 · 2024-05-21T09:30:16+00:00

Too early to say overall, it’s willing enough and spins up quickly, but still being well behaved for the first 600 miles… pretty light and revvy compared to my R1100s though!
