Members, your help and indulgence, please.
I consider my 1993 R100GSPD pretty darn new. It's the newest bike in the stable. But I recently had a chance to borrow a 2016 R1200 RT. Then I went to the dealer to look at the R1200GS and GSA.
If you have input to these questions I am all ears:
For either the RT or GSA - can you at least do the fluid changes yourself without undo drama?
Reliability issues? I have well over 150k on my GSPD so I want to know how these bikes handle miles.
Comfort of distance riding? I know the RT will be more comfortable on the slab - it IS a couch, after all. But how does the GSA do on long on-road transits?
Anything else you wish you'd known before buying one?
Thanks for your time!
