It's been about two weeks since the bike (2018 R1200 GS) came home. It had a little under 1,500 miles when I bought it. It needed service, which is done and I've added cylinder head protectors, frame guards by the foot pegs, and the inexpensive phone adaptor for the GPS mount. At some point, I plan on getting crash bars, a tank bag or handlebar bag, and different foot pegs (the stock foot pegs seem rather narrow). Here's the bike on my first ride - excluding riding it home and then in for service. Still getting used to it, but that should be fun.

Nice bike motodan ! I have a triple black on order and am very anxious to get mine. I have yet to see one in person outside in daylight. In the fluorescent light the only time i saw one the paint seemed to have a brown tint. What does it look like in bright sunshine? Black or is there an obvious tint to it ?

My new (to me) 2021 GSA joined its 2014 RT cousin earlier this month. I think the GSA will be around much longer than the RT, but who knows? (Besides my wife, that is…) At least I don’t have to change my riding gear color scheme.

I had the top and side case covers painted to match the rest of my RS. I also decided to have the under engine winglets done as well. Talked to my local auto body man, ordered a pint of A89 Imperial Blue Cromax Pro, and here we are!
First time out of the house, in the sunlight, since having the paint work done in December. I'm very happy with the job. Perfect colour match, looks like it should have from the factory, IMHO.
