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

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

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.

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

this is made for high speed touring.

RM90k new, CBU japan.
232kg wet, but feels really light. lighter than tiger 800.

Love this too but the riding position…

ya the edgy design looks really cool on the 1000gx.
yeah the footpeg position is a bit weird for me.
user posted image
they put the footpeg far back for a sportier riding position.
but the handlebar is high and swept back, so you need to open up your arms to crouch forward.

user posted image
compared to the vstrom 800 series, the footpeg is more forward allowing you to be more natural upright.

the difference in riding position is night and day when compared to my tiger 800.

Yeah, hence why I said the riding position.

Slightly not relax.

So in the long distance run, definitely sore on arms.

And you won’t enjoy as much as upright real touring adv

Buy whatever riding gear you can afford bro you don't need to impress anyone , buy now regret later or don't buy at all lah

If got money buy the latest GSA :-)
*
I have the money but thinking not worth spending 170k for latest gsa.

Too much.

Really eyeing for 2024 production of GS.

If price in 80-90-ish thou, definitely I’ll cash it.
