I need some advise from you guys with 1150GSA's. I've been lick'n my lips for one for more than a year now. Currently riding a 2006 650GS with 50 000km(I know you guys don't think it is a REAL GS  ;)).
95% of my time on the bike is commuting (would like more camping trips, but if I'm honest with myself would prob not get to it). So the 650 is easy through traffic and light on fuel (and have full pannier set)
I'm 6ft2 tall but only 80kg, so not built like Bakkies, but more like Ian Thorp  :D :D :D
I do approx 17 000k's a year

I can pick up a 2003 with 85 000km for R50k (ABS disconnected), but no panniers/ boxes
Fuel consumption seems high on these bikes, true?
Should I rather just stick to my bike, considering what I use it for most of the time
