A picture a day...biker banter (Vol 5)
Discussion
Bought a new R1250GS Adventure 3 weeks ago. Let's see what all the fuss is about from the "Beards"
Currently on board the Fast Cat to Cherbourg for 10 days away in France, Spain , Portugal.
Home around 4th or 5th and should have 3700 miles on by then. We shall know by then if it does what they say it does.
Cant upload a proper photo as they are all too large and I cant resize them on my phone.

Went for a ride this morning - the GSXR lacks character compared to the v4 but for an IL4 it does have a nice induction and pulls like a trooper from 10k to 14k
I still think the WC integration into the TC is pita
No picture unfortunately
Agreed. It’s a bit vague from the manual as well how the setting affects wheelie control. I still think the WC integration into the TC is pita

I’m considering going to V4 next. Every time I see / hear an RSV4 / Tuono I want one ...

Great photos there! : thumbup: te for some of it) so not so many about vs previous years but some cool n noisy toys present as always...I was driving up from Sandhurst to Cambridgeshire today, and stopped at my local Tesco to fuel up for the trip when a blue Suzuki X7 with spannies pulled in to top up. I had a chat with him (it seems he's my postie) and he was on his way to the Ace.
Then I stopped at Baldock services at the end of the A1(M) and that's where those 2 RDs were meeting on their way down so I had a chat with them as well, seeing as I was a serial RD owner in the past!
Quite a coincidence, but it was just great to see some 2-strokes out and about - God how I miss my KH500!
happy chappy - passed my test on friday and picked up my first bike yesterday.
had been looking at a 18 plate honda nc750 or 15 plate triumph tiger 800, but after looking at insurance quotes i decided i'd go with something cheap to get a bit more experience before buying something expensive - ended up under £1500 all in for the bike, tax and insurance

I've worked it out that basically for every tc you reduce the wc is less intrusive. TC on 1 means the wc basically is nothing... Problem being so is the tc I’m considering going to V4 next. Every time I see / hear an RSV4 / Tuono I want one ...
I was being a fairy due to tyre choice and had it in 4. Light never flashed but it wouldn't wheelie much either
