ZZR1400PS & CBR900RRW here. I just love sporty Japanese IL4's. Not a huge fan of BMWs (sorry Ross 😂) but I do like an R1100/1200S 👍 Personally, I'd have a red/white/blue R1100S Boxercup over a 'Colgate' 1200S if you can find one. I find two bikes & two cars (one cheap runabout & one nice weekend car) works for me. I have a strict 'one in, one out' policy to keep things manageable 👍
I only have the one bike at present and it’s a BMW F800GT, granted it’s my first big bike. But I am changing it next year to a BMW 1200/50GS, but I would love a CCM Bobber too, well, why not!!!!!
@@RRGS78so the F800GT is my everyday, I have quite a commute, 40 miles each way Shropshire into Staffordshire and back. I adore and want the GS due to it having much more of a presence on the road, especially at this time of year, my route takes me cross-country, across Cannock Chase which is stunning.
@@RRGS78yes, yes I have but, the dream is the GS. Yes I know a lot of people will be there face palming 🤦♂️, GS really?!?!?! But I have always loved them, but I unfortunately also love the Honda DN01 😳🤣🤣
Ross. You’re chucking money at things that really don’t need reengineering. Just fit the same back end with a new replacement from a dealership. As for the wrap on your bike. Why? You bought it like that and obviously loved it. Why mess on changing the bloody colours. Sell it and buy a bike in the colour you really want. Problem I see is you clearly have money to burn!
Dude that’s twice you’ve mentioned money now. Why reengineer something, well because I would like to, I have come from custom bikes and was an aircraft engineer so it’s something I’d like to do. As for the colour, I just want to change the white, but if I can’t I won’t be sad, I got this colour as it came with options that the others didn’t. Oh, for now I did put the stock backend back on
Ross. I looked before posting to call you by your correct name. Don’t call me dude. I ain’t your dude and I don’t live in the USA so speak normal English. I knew my two posts would get exactly the reaction that I got from you. You just fit the stereotype of very little man, big opinion of himself person.So predictable. Your cash is your cash. You chuck it around wherever you choose, but don’t assume that everyone has the funds to do and buy the things you obviously can.

That’s a cool couple of bikes! Triumph have a low mileage boxer cup in for not a lot of money!
Thanks for sharing!

So, curious why to a 1200/50GS?...A great bike mind, but curious as to why!

Well at 1250 gs is a great choice I really did love mine. Have you considered a S1000xr?

Well, having had the 1250 and the 1300 GS I much prefer the ride of the 1250.
But for all round I prefer my F900gs

Ironically, i assume nothing, but you my dear are assuming everything... Have a wonderful rest of your day.
