It's the one that wears a Western Province jersey.

Congrats Charl - excellent choice and the Biketique guys are great to work with too.  That bike looks stunning - now you just need to get it up to 130 000 km and then we can talk

Maybe next Saturday morning on our way to Middelpos (Charles thinks I need to double the mileage ASAP.)

Looks like with all the red tape I will only be getting it early next week.

This was in my parking bay at work yesterday.

2004 R1150 GS 

Just before the rains came

That is one seriously nice bike - I am almost envious!

Woohoooo ...Wishing you many happy Kms Bud

Beautifull !

Last year I read the book DIE BIKE BOEK and realised that I am a sleeper and needed to get back on a bike after 25 years off. I did a lot of reading and as I have always been a BMW fan it was a question of which one. Being 61 years old and not so fris anymore I was wary of the weight of an 1150 GS. The 1200 was out of my reach so I was looking at the 650 Dakar . The 800GS mad a lot of sense but again was too expensive for me even 2nd hand. Then a friend persuaded me to look at Honda Trans Alp and it made sense to me. Price/ weight/ability . One day before I made a purchase ( Honda )I passed through Malmesbury and in the main road on the sidewalk there was this blue and white 1150 GS for sale. It had a lot of wear and tear and high mileage and the engine was overhauled so that particular bike was out of the question for me but the sight of that blue and white 1150 GS bike sold me on a 1150 GS.

Now I have a 2004 Yellow 1150 GS with only 30 000 on the clock. And very very happy.

I say thank you to that blue and white 1150 GS !

I took this pic of Charl doing his thing on his new Baby.

Good One Charl

Thought I would confuse you now and give you more choice for your profile Pic.

Charles maybe you can make them rotate from one to the next

Ok just kidding

Got mine last Friday.  Went offroad in Stellenbosch mountains on Sat am and was quite apprehensive.  Higher seat than the Dakar and heavy!  But man can it handle!  I was amazed at how controlled everything is on that bike - love it!

Then Andy got hold of it and improved it even more and gave me lots of tips (and he had cold beer). I bought my Dakar as a result of his influence and now the 1150GSA.  Thanks Andy!

The only negative was the surge at low revs.  Not a very smooth ride, especially if you're in too high a gear.  Mine has a Leo Vince exhaust which has probably changed the engine dynamics.  I removed the code plug and now it's smoooth!

Definitely a good buy.

So my bike is getting more character all the time.

Thanks Charl, it's great to see your out and about enjoying your bike!

Please pop in for a coffee sometime

Cheers
