Got out for an hour at 9.30.....it was already 33c!
This bike is fucking brilliant......runs like a watch.
More air in the front tyre has improved the turn-in a lot, plus I'm getting more used to it now so it's just a matter of modifying my riding style to suit this one after 20 months on the 650GS.
I didn't have time to get used to the 1200GS because the POS was always fucked, so my comparison will always be with the 650GS.
Talking of fucked bikes, I can report that there were no oil leaks, brake failures, strange whirring sounds and flashing warning lights from the dashboard, or engine spluttering.
Yes.....it's what people term a boring Honda! I've had 14 of them and they were all boring......in the sense that they always worked flawlessly and never gave any issue whatsoever.
At my age I'll settle for boring!
