#1 | Taken the Plunge datum

After five years riding my R1200GS LC I decided it was time for something a bit lighter and more manageable with my short legs, so I�m picking up a 2018 R1200RS Sport SE on Friday

I�ve already got some advice from this forum and have ordered a nice Givi adapter plate from Johan in Sweden instead of the ugly Givi one. A higher level GPS mount is next, then it�s all ready for this years tour of Spain and France
