Bike
BMW R1200GS Adventure
I have 2 x bikes: 2008 GSA , 2009 800GS, both have low km's as i do not ride as often as i want to or have time for. Currently both are paid up, insured, semi service history, meaning i have done oil changes etc and @Jughead serviced on occasion.

I need to decide which of the 2 to sell! I'm 55, still relatively mobile and fit and could actually probably handle both with ease.

The 800 is full spec with all bells and whistles, the 1200 is the base model without ABS etc etc.

The 800 needed a new piston years ago, which was done by Ross Guscott here in PE years go. To date absolutely no problems with the scoot at all. +

In your opinions what would be the best bike to keep? keeping the maintenance etc etc in mind .... or should i rather dump both at a good price and buy a 4X4.

a few pics attached below of both scoots.

I'm sure a few of your gents/ladies have gone through similar situations previously.
