New to me GL1800
« on: February 28, 2024, 02:02:13 PM »
I arrived home yesterday afternoon after riding from Bathurst on the new to me ST 1800.


I may have to add photos later due to their size. Its nice to ride and I think I like it. I will keep the ST for a while and see which I or we prefer. Hopefully with the comfy seat etc I can get Chris to ride it too.
It was a good price and in good nic. 2012  90500 km.


It came with disc pads, heated gloves, 3 jackets, 3 helmets with comms, cover, Honda bags etc

Congratulations.  Looks good and hopefully I'll get to see it at Balranald.  Did I start a new trend?  Pitmans Yamaha in Blair Athol (SA) have two for sale at the moment if anyone else is looking to jump on the bandwagon.

But not for long if it sells.

In the meantime, it counts.

Will this be three bikes out the door, seems like you making space in the garage for more than a Africa Twin Transalp.

Above post corrected.  Plenty of space, aye!  For what else, in addition to the Transalp?

It's probably changed a wee bit since then...  :whistle
