Behold the glory. Beware radiance may cause temporary blindness!!!

After writing off my yellow R1200GS in the desert, deciding on a suitable replacement was becoming a chore. Couldn't decide if I wanted another yellow gs or move to an orange ktm 990 adventure.













So after much a compromise was found.














And after nearly four months without wheels, it has arrived.















Bow down and give praise in all its glory.



































And the money I saved over the big Kato, will STFU (start the farkle up) process.

Some bugger pre-stained your exhaust, where is the fun in that.

You can't point to it and in all honesty say 'I did that'

Nice choice of bike and bits. Which levers are they?

Tyres next?

Welcome to the dark side..

Hi OffAgain,

Pleased to see you saw the error of your ways...

We all know that the image of the R1200GS has taken a beating since being adopted as a fashion accessory of the in-crowd..



(Sneak peak of next year's newest colour option)



With the money saved you could farkel it good 'n proper like the one below and make it look the part (to go with the performance and grunt already there)



Enjoy
