Got offer 70k for recond.

Mileage 5k.

Considering another bike, 2024 BMW R1250GS.

Still in reading comparison to choose between.

Prob now, GS cost me additional 50k.

With that amount, can get full set Klim

DCT ?

yeah DCT

2024 GS damn expensive.

if ur looking for an on road only tourer, can also look at the versys for around the 70k mark.

Dont like kawa.

Engine and the weight for me

this bike is nice, especially the "Auto" part, but the price very keras

If you don't want to mess about with an Adventure bike, there are now recon DCT equipped NT1100 around.

Hopefully enough money

Wobble at high speed.

Clumsy R&D

don't mind me asking, what's your height ? i find it very challenging to use the double stand, i tried a few times and failed, maybe my technique is wrong

177

Use a bit of power only.

Pull 45 degrees towards the tail.

Normally it’ll do it.

you have the height ok la , i 173, felt a bit insecure lolz, last bike was a cbr650r

Ok 173.
More important, your inseam.

I might have shorter inseam than you due to my wide thigh

there's a pedal on the double stand, step on it, drop it to the ground, and then continue to stand on it
right hand, prepare to pull something on the bike, like a pannier rail or rear grab rail, or footpeg subframe

with your body weight, the center stand will keep the bike up, and then the right hand pull upwards to add to your body weight

try this video, but add the right hand to grab on the bike, and pull up to add to the down force:

thanks for the heads up, i don't have a bike now but looking at touring now

GS boxer has the benefits of able to sustain drops better than most bikes
note: boxer

Thats assuming nothing misses the crash bars and makes a hole in the head of the boxer. hahahahaha

hanging out with riders, asking them questions..

I am now stuck between 2022 Africa Twin DCT and BMW R1250GS 2019 (for the price slightly above AT, which is 96K) but eyeing 2024 R1250GS but the price... still expensive..

Summore, riding gears need to buy..

Dont want to dump more money..

Takge GS bro no regret

get GS, riding gears also need to follow premium riding gears.

KLIM gloves, pants, that Marrakesh jacket, bmw M-system boots.

Schuberth C5 or E1,zumo xt2 etc etc..


While Africa Twin, I no prob with all Kushitani, Dainese.

I really dont know the cost of maintaining GS and AT in the long run.

Coz I dont think I will use it in short period. Min 5yrs
