General topics » So Long Lupin Express

I've succumbed to numerous test rides on GS' the last couple years while my bike was getting serviced, and traded my much loved RS on a '19 R1250GS. After throwing in the towel on gainful employment this summer, I traveled quite a bit (by my standards anyway, not Darrell's) and rode 20k miles this year between my '16 RS and a '17 Multistrada 950. I thought I'd get down to one bike for now, and for the kind of riding I like, the GS will better cover what both those bikes do. It's very comfortable and agile for its size. That 1250 motor is impressive, I can't wait until it's broken in.

The RS is a great and under appreciated bike, I thoroughly enjoyed mine. I'll hang around and am going to be interested in reading what people think of their new 1250 RS'. I might have a few RS accessories for sale soon too.

Best of luck with the new GS. Let us know how you like it after it is broken in. I’ll be interested to see what accessories you might have from your RS. Ironically, I just (last night) bought a Shoei GT Air Dauntless in blue after seeing your pic riding your Lupin on Tail of the Dragon. So I guess I won’t be needing that helmet accessory. 😉

They delivered it to me 50 miles from the dealer yesterday afternoon and picked up the traded bikes. It’s been in the low 40s here the last couple days, I got in 30 miles yesterday and will get in a few this afternoon. A lot of the roads are still salty, so I’m picky where I go.

Vario cases were ordered for it and I’ll get some liners for them. Right now it’s all I have planned. At a glimpse it’s looking like my titanium Remus hexacone from the RS might mount right up...hmm. It’s blue, so my Shoei GT Air Dauntless still works.

Congratulations on the new technology, Bub. My regular ridding buddy had his '19 GSA 1250 delivered yesterday down near Roanoke, Va. He traded in his R1200RT to better round out his BMW stable. The color scheme for both yours and his are quite impressive.

Another bike..........another forum...........life goes on.

Enjoy. Stick.

Congrats on your new GS.
Has the weather been good enough to get any miles on it?

---

Congratulations Steve. I like the color scheme. You did not stray too far from the Lupin blue

Sorry to hear that Steve. We will definitely miss you at the RS Ride Ins. The 1250 motor does look like it is a winner and I am sure that in the RS it will be a really nice match.

Are GSs not allowed?

---

I don't see why not ... I assumed as much based on another email I had seen. Of course Steve would be most welcome.

Stick - it is in early June and in Georgia for a change.
