So I sold the gs, thought for 5 months, and then bought something cheap, reliable, fun, relatively practical, good looking, well finished and with a great engine (and a crappy suspension which needs to be competely replaced), i.e a tdm , which bmw are trying to copy (the only things they managed to do better was to plonk a belt drive and a far better suspension)


I'm all with you on the TDM suspension (well front anyway), but having test ridden a F800S for a day I found its suspension just as bad as the TDM's. Plus it isn't adjustable (not that any of the available rebound settings on the TDM suffice).

Welcome BTW wink.gif
