New to me R1200GSA

[Jonnybow]

New guy here, escaped the i-BMW site unscathed with minor twitching.....
Just purchased my first adventure bike, have been riding BMW's a long time but all K bikes. I currently ride a '14 K1600GT and wanted to add a new bike to the stable. Found a nice 2013 R1200GSA 90th anniversary addition (air cooled) fairly local at the right price and miles with 15 months still left on the extended warranty. Pick it up tomorrow!
I'll be searching for farkles and tips on here so hit me up with whatever you think I need.
Glad to be here thanks to Joe for the invite

Welcome! We rented a R1200GS in Colorado a few years ago, came home and bought a 2014, then sold it for a K1300S, then sold that and now have a 2018 R1200GS which we are loving!

Welcome to the site and congrats on the GS!

Hey Jonnybow! G'Day.

I was just over on the Western NC topic and checking out the Wunderlich gear there.

Congrats on the new steed.

This'll look the part on any GSA ....



Wouldn't mind one myself ... if only they came in green *sigh*

It does come in green , Kalamata green ...

Thanks, Martin. But I'd like my cup holder in acid green

[Martin_D]

Do tell me , what's the use for a cup holder with a full face helmet ?

[FR4N]

Flip lids? e.g. Shoei Neotec II?

Forgot you're a bloke and can only do one thing at a time

Welcome Jonnybow. Great choice on the GSA. Show us a pic of the bike.

We are as amazed as anyone. The GS is FUN without begging to go fast. We went from an Arabian to a Morgan.

Good comparison, Morgan Horse Farm is just down the road from me as the GS flies.

You gotta just keep checking here and not hesitate if it looks good or it'll be gone.
