XTreme

Exactly! The CB750F1 I had in 76 was 235kg, the Bandit 1200 I had in 2001 was 240kg......but neither seemed heavy to me back then. Now they would feel like barges.

It's matching bike to individual requirements......your GS is what you need right now Pedro. But over the years the requirements may well change, and it's inevitable that age will catch up with you at some point. I think once I got into my early sixties I started feeling it kicking in.

You gotta understand that Google will knock us back Pedro. We want no.1 for the search term "Adventure Motorcycles" not "Shit eating Iberian Beemer Boy".

You tell him Tym! About time @Pedro started generating some interesting threads to stimulate discussion. But not any that involve his eating habits obviously!

I love Pedro's bike.....I think it's amazing. But given my age, the limited time that I have available, and the riding environment where I am it's just totally impractical for me.

It's the logical choice Lionel......manoeuvring half a ton of bike around is no joke in your 60's.

Nothing's easy in Spain! And it gets even worse when lazy jobsworth funcionarios are involved!

Put up as a Spoof Pedro.

Logistical nightmare to re-register vehicles here Pedro!

You still planning to out that?

Here's one @Tym will remember from another forum...... "What's on your sandwiches today?"

Don't you find the low bars and rising position a bit painful Ray?

Sounds like it was this....

That's the later version of the F650GS......which became 800cc. The original F650GS (650cc) then became the G650GS.

@Buckster will be along shortly to tell you that they're Chinese!

Are you allowed to keep the two there?

no.....just one car is enough!

Don't get the range of powders here!

For those of you not familiar with Cardiff check out Cardiff After Dark!

If she lives in Cardiff every day will be painful Pedro!

Your requirements would go way beyond what a Bike Valeter could provide Yen! This is what happened after Yen caught the bus once.......

You used a Bike Valeter? You sick deviant! @Clive.......you know how to deal with his kind!

We've all seen some stupid, clueless, pitiful shit on our visits to different forums over the years.....and this one always springs to mind for me: "Recommend me a Bike Valeter" Now I'm well aware that we have a very different demographic riding bikes to what we had in the 70's.....but a Bike Valeter? What sad, pitiful cunt would employ a Bike Valeter? If you have, then own the fuck up now........and you'll be getting a straightener via incoherent PM from @Clive Here's another one......"How do I put my Bike on it's Centre Stand?" That cunt @MooN could have been responsible for a few of those though! So......what pitiful threads have you seen?

I didn't think the 800 series were that heavy......40kgs more than my 650!
