I finished putting most of the bits on this morning. Have been up in Scotland in the caravan. Next time I’m out I’ll take a few snaps. Must admit that it’s a bit of a learning curve after having GSs for the last nine years I think! I keep forgetting that I need to work the engine! The bloody 20mph nonsense here makes any built up area pretty intolerable. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many miles have you put on it now Al. got to be honest i haven't noticed much difference with the 20mph limits probably because i'm usually driving in the rush hours so cant get to 20 and i just ignore them like i did with the 30mph when i can LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popped over to see Ralph yesterday so that was about forty miles. Might have another run up to Pwllheli in a couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just told you it doesn’t have any torque compared to the GS, so let him forget about the BMW and awake the next morning thinking about reliability. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to do a proper long trip, outside Wales, loaded up, to get a better feel for it. No bonding yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 My mate Nick has one, he's not overly enamoured with his yet either. He's had at least 10 Africa Twins (and Transalps ) in the past but he reckons it needs a bit of work to get it up to standard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
