2021 New Bike Ideas

Funnily enough I was thinking it looks like a bigger version of its SMT…

Certainly Chris’s point of view

It’s a massive shame KTM didn’t do an 1190 SMT.

Okay, so a very interesting 2020 GS has come on the market. I’m going for a test-ride!

Another GS not ridden in the rain…

LOL. Not that interesting.

Might go to Prem bikes tomorrow to have a closer look at the SA-S. That and coffee/cake in Benson.

I test rode an Africa Twin last summer and it felt like I was in a car, not on a bike. Didn’t understand it.

However, the S1000XR I tested around the same time was a hell of a lot of fun.

Have to agree with @Jay the KTM is proper fugly

1250GS is lovely… shame I need a step ladder to mount it.

890 Adventure :slight_smile:

Bought it, got it! Got it for a bloody bargain too.



2020 R1200GS Rally TE. 3k miles. A veritable steal.

Had a bit of an off-road past, so looking to continue a bit of that, give some summer green laning a go on it. Let me know if you’re up for it…

It has 80/20 split tyres on it atm. Tempted to get a second pair of wheels with some proper knobblies on.

His ‘n’ hers matching pair?

Knobblies for that ‘Dakar’ look. Do they still make Michelin Deserts?

Dunno, but they make some great knobblies. Mitas also very well regarded.

I can see you grinning through the helmet!!

Nice, when’s the first LB ride out to christen it?

nice is this number 3 now, you gonna need a bigger garage. Are there loads of places you can truly ride those locally or are you preparing for some post Covid touring on the continent ?
