Just added an R1200 GS to my fleet. I pick it up tomorrow, got a good deal on a 2008 model.

Low frame and seat, ABS, spoke wheels, BMW small tank bag, BMW Aluminum Adventure Panniers, Valve cover protectors and the special battery tender.

After breaking the scooter in I hope to do some long weekend runs with it to get the feel of the bike. An LA to Alaska run is on the horizon. I plan to get my camping gear out, shake the dust off of it and do some overnighters out in the Mojave soon, gotta see what shape all that stuff is in, I have been camping in my pickup camper for the last few years and haven't been using the tent, sleeping bag and all that stuff.

This bike will be replacing my K100RS and my Honda XR650L. I sold the 650 a few weeks ago and the K100 is on the block is anyone is interested.

Hope to see some of you on the road.

Nice bike! I've been lusting for a GS for a long time. Gonna break down and buy one sooner or later...

Seeing those pictures instills great materialistic envy in me.

Congrats on the new bike.

When my DL wears out, a GS will replace it.
