    I do not own any of these little clips you are about to see.
    I just made a compilation of several TH-cam videos to show you how awesome this bike really is!
    These days you can buy a good R1150GS between 4000 - 5500 euros. The Adventure is more expensive though because they are very rare in good condition.
    They are reliable and indestructible. They go around 200 kmh/h with great wind protection and stability.
    It sits very comfortable. It has torque for days and you can go off road with no problems.
    It has great lights, a huge tank so you can drive many kilometers/miles and I can go on and on.
    It also happend to be the bike used on 'Long Way Round' by Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman, I do recomend to watch Long Way Round.
    BTW: there are many after market products for this motorcycle.
    What you need to remember:
    Nowadays they are really AFFORDABLE
    It does NOT need much MAINTENANCE
    A very COMFORTABLE and easy bike to ride.
    So RIDE it and have FUN!

    I must agree with you - these are truly the best GS's of the lot! I own a 2004 GS1150 Adventure and it's never missed a beat! Yes it's heavy, yes it's pretty slow, but you know what, for me speed's not everything! My old "Buffalo" is big, ponderous, but super reliable and strong! After 16 years of ownership, I wouldn't consider selling it for anything else!

    1100,1150 and the first 1200 air cooled.

    I totally agree with you. I bought my 1150 GSA 2005 5 years ago and I find that it is the perfect bike for travelling. Another advantage is that it does not have so many electronic gimmicks like all the new bikes. Torque is definetly enough ans since it is not a street bike the horsepower is also enough.
    It s made for people who like to ride motorcycles instead of bragging about their bike etc. Keep on riding

    I have the 2002 adventure gs. Best bike? I think not. It’s decent but has issues. The Hall effect sensor wiring insulation flakes and leaves you stranded. Transmission input splines strip, rear drive failures, starter failures, plastic fuel quick disconnect failures. These are manufacturing defects not found on other bikes. And the bike is not cheap. I like my gs but am not delusional to it’s faults

      @@GSMicrobe it needs way more love than other makes at a higher price. Personally a Suzuki vstrom 650 does everything the gs does at half price with zero issues.
      Edit another issue with later 1150 are the abs power brakes. They stop working and nobody wants to or knows how to repair the brakes. $2000 to replace. Totally unacceptable.
