I went down to Castril and I couldn't believe what I saw!
Bear in mind I was there three months ago on the 1200GS.......but since then the water level in the reservoir has plummeted.
I've been going there since 2005 and there's land areas showing now that never existed before.
I'm the last one to call for rain but this is getting really serious now!
Bike looking pretty decent......new tyre is great!
Parked up by the side of the reservoir and a guy was there on a Versys 650 (wearing a Honda jacket )......and he couldn't believe how much the water had dropped either.
Filled up with petrol on the way back.......it took €8. Which is all I've used going to Baza (70 miles) and Castril today (40 miles).
110 miles for €8.......must be around 80mpg I'd have thought.
This bike (despite having it's detractors) suits me just fine! I love it! The 650GS was easy to ride and cheap on fuel......but this thing way surpasses that! The slipper clutch is amazing!
And ultimately I've got a lot more peace of mind with a Honda than with a BMW! And for someone as inept as I am that's a big thing!
