Loved it.......and amazingly, so did the wife!

I do regret selling it tbh.......that, and the Kawasaki 500 H1 are the only ones I can say that about!

Strange isn't it, I didn't get on with my GS1150 at all.

The only bike I could ride for hours and get off feeling as fresh as I did at the start.

Sounds like an advert for feminine hygene products. :classic_unsure:

It's difficult to describe really.......but despite it looking like a big, overweight ugly bastard the ride experience was like nothing I ever experienced before or since.

It felt like you were sitting on an armchair on the roof of a car and no matter how bumpy the road got you were not disturbed in any way.

Going round corners it was just so planted......you take a line and that's where it stays. It was like it was on rails.

Pedro probably knows what I'm talking about......cos after riding Big Bird he got into Beemers.

Go and spend some quality time with your neighbour!

Apologise to him for being such a sad twat!

Don’t need to go anywhere, the fat bastard is out there now with his fucking HUGE gob shouting and bawling.

No thanks I see enough of him don’t want him on film as well, just imagine a fucking turtle with two hearing aids walking upright with a mouth the size of the Grand canyon and you won’t be far off the mark.👍

I was a fan before, though. To be honest when I rode the yellow one I didn’t really appreciate anything other than the comfy seat, didn’t really know what I was doing.

The 1150 is very planted and handles nicer than some of the newer ones, it’s got a balance to it that just inspires confidence. Having said that, they are a moody bike and a nice one is a keeper and sweet, while the wrong one will also handle nice but give you a clonky gearbox and diff worries.

I had a Transalp, Tym had the same KLR, Moon had a Transalp, Bob had an AT, Catteeclan had a Transalp, Yen had an AT, Pedro had a Transalp etc.

 

What can we learn from this?

The Honda V Twin trails were sweet bikes!
