After the national BMW offered me a deal on my 2010GSA I could not refuse.
My old bike had done 26tho been all over Europe, crossed rivers, mountains even wore snow chains, it had all the toys.
My new piece of German metal is another GSA but its water cooled, is 15bhp up from the old air cooled unit up to 125 bhp. It has a seat base of 35 inches just to keep short Yorkshire people off the masterclass, it weights 4 kgs more.
The bike has an integrated GPS system which links in to the bikes CPU showing you what the bike is doing, links blue tooth to the phone and on the web. All controlled by a control wheel on the left hand.
The bike is the TE version so it has do what its advertised for.
The bike has an integrated gear box and a multi plate clutch like a proper bike. Taking it slow off road the engine is very smooth and really balanced in berms, crossing sloppy ground and bouncing up steep slopes.
The michelins seam to be good on the grass no slips or slides. As bike has so much electronics I switched the riding mode to enduro and let the bike sort out the traction[emoji106] the throttle response is tuned down and the bike finds the grip like a Welsh mountain sheep.
I need to save for a bigger bash plate, crud catcher and some rad guards.
Tomorrow I will plug in the Full Enduro chip into the bike. This chip disabled some road riding safety functions and gives me more options on the control screen. And unleashes Def com 1. More to follow.
