I'm coming back!
« on: August 23, 2025, 18:25:40 »
Hi, I've been here before and I think I'm going to come back! I sold my DL1000 (06) and bought an S10, I was then offered a BMW 1200GSA at a price I couldn't refuse but after 3yrs it's time to downsize and I'm thinking of an 800RE.  The other half has one and loves it, I've ridden it a couple of times and find it more than enough for the RoSPA/BikeSafe/ERS stuff that I do.

I'm laid up with a broken leg at the minute so will get around to listing the GSA next week, it should sell for enough for me to almost pay for a new 800RE.  I did concsider the 800DE but I have a Voge 300 for off road so the RE will be ideal.  I have a few questions to ask of those that have RE's already!
