As a 1 up bike it was actually ok but 2up it was dismal way undersprung, guys on the Versys forums had spent $ on Ohlins/Nitron/Wilburs out back and springs up front for marginal results only, was'nt prepared to spend up for average improvemants so cut my losses. The V1k had preload up front , re bound RHS only and no compression, the rear pre load and rebound - id known about this before.

One good thing about not having a bike is not having to look at it and not being able to ride during this lockdown.No bike.... in lockdown.... what’s next? A BMW R1200GSA? . . . .

Im looking out for a used 1200 tenere hopefully a Gen2 as it has updated CCT, clutch basket and mapping.
The Beemer is outta my price range, for that money you can buy a new ES Tenere.

Hey, bikes will probably be banned after this ‘lockdown’ moves into its next stage.
We will all be lucky if the economy doesnt collapse to the point that we all get put on a ‘universal income’.

This lockdown needs to be postponed as it’s just coming into riding season for you northern hemisphere boys up there!

Yeah who knows if we have jobs at the end of all this, the sensible side of my brain says 'hold onto your bike money you might need it' the other side says 'nah keep looking'Hey, bikes will probably be banned after this ‘lockdown’ moves into its next stage.

Ah Bill just go into drift modeWhen in doubt gas it !
I went sideways once when I gave it a little go...as it was the first time I was on the bike since Oct...I surely didn't want to drop it and ruin my season....I can wait although it sure felt good to be on it...
New tires feel good although I just idled it along...
Yeah lots of sand here as well. Have to wait for more rains to wash it away, especially in the corners
We had a couple good rains already but the amount of sand still on the roads is unbelievable...
