I'm going to bite the bullet and buy an 1200GS new or used if I can find the one that I want.
90% of my riding will be on pavement or gravel. The other 10% will be on decent two track fire trails. I won't be riding the Paris to Dakar, unless I find the fountain of youth (real soon!).
I'm inseam challenged so the Adventure is out.
I want heated grips, ABS, hand guards, and a large windscreen.
I'm going to put Jesse bags on it and my large Givi top case. So I don't need BMW bags or top case.
What other trinkets from BMW, should I be looking for?
Wire spokes or the other?
What after market items should I expect to need to get?
Do I need to replace the factory shocks?
If I find a used one...were there any inherent problems in the '05s or '06s that I should look for?
Give me your opinions and advice.
Thanks,
