First BMW in Florida

[pshooter]

Hello, I have been away from riding for about 10 years. I have seen adventure bikes for some time and have been casually looking at motorcycles for a while. I decided that the GS Adventure would be the one for me after having mostly cruisers.
I bought a 2021 1250 GSA that had been a fleet bike at the BMW rider academy. It has some bumps and scrapes but overall it seems pretty solid at 6k miles.
Hope to get out and see what adventures I can get into.

Welcome from central Florida. Enjoy that nice ride.

Welcome to the forum!
I really like those 1250’s.
No worries about bumps and scrapes as they save you from feeling bad after you make the first ones.
Enjoy.

Welcome! I really like the color scheme. Never knew that the training center fleet bikes were available for purchase.

I got it from a used motorcycle dealer and I understand they got it at auction. It seems BMW sells them at auction when they are done with them.

All I can add is, Enjoy it to the maximum extent possible, Mr P. Your purchase implies U know where to get some training for such a big off-road bike should U need to Test your mettle. Use a Paul B Training stipend to get some useful experience on a Giant dirt-bike, Mr P!

Hope your new BMW will bring you many miles & smiles as well as bring U to the MOA Rally in Lebanon Tennessee in June. Be There or Be Square!

Happy Trails whenever U can on your splendid GSA!

Nice bike shooter! And Welcome to the MOA from Space Coast Florida.
What Phil said... get you some off-road training for that beast.
Enjoy the ride; see you in Lebanon TN in June (a good place for that training).
