Hello everyone,
As much as I like my k16gt, I find some shortcomings with it when I want to do gravel road. I can occasionnaly ride them but I feel I abuse this bike. I was looking for a gs and saw an add about a 1997 gs at 78000klm with a fait price.
I will go have a look at the bike and test ride it. I have had a few bmw in the past, but just to be on the safe side, what should I look for on this particular model?? The guy told me he experienced some hiccups near 4000rpms and thought it is fuel filter related, since the bike just had it's service done.
Also, I intend to use the gs 1100 mainly for off pavement duty. Is it adequat for off roading? I know it will not tolerate well single track, but what about adventure riding?
Thanks for any inuts.
Regards
