G'day from Adelaide

Last night I put a deposit on a new (2011 plated) 1250SA with 39L GIVI top box and 41L GIVI Panniers, hopefully it will be delivered next Friday.
After 21 years on a VX800 it can't come soon enough, looking forward to a trip to Mackay with my daughter in April and a couple of trips to Melbourne with my son later in the year to catch some Bombers games.

BTW, I'm Ian

G'day Ian. Bloody Bomber supporter

G'day Ian welcome to the club.
You'll enjoy the GSX.

Collingwood supporter here. At least you're not a Crows moron

Bet ya don`t sleep much tonight

I'll have to wait for the top box and panniers 'till the 1st service, but I got the bike this evening

with 10km on the clock



with 30 on the clock


heading out for a ride with my daughter on the back and a mate in the morning, should clock up a few more before the mercury rises too much

Welcome along from another newby Chook. Nice looking bike, you're making me jelous now. I'm heading off within the hour up to Ballina to pick up my "06" Bandit. Still a few showers lurking around too

Nice and good to see ABS comes in the fast colour now too.
When i was toying with an update the website looked like ABS was still only on grey units.
Maybe I should have asked
Can I ask what the going rate is in SA?

I was told 2011 plated S and SA were all Black, no other colour choice (I'm happy with Black but really liked the Grey)

I got it a bit better than the "going rate", a couple of dealers were very eager to try and make sure I purchased from them.
I've got the bike and when it arrives I will also have GIVI 39L top box with stop light & backrest and 41L panniers.................all up on the road, under 13K, I could have had a Grey 2010 plated one for about $100 less if I was willing to travel about an hour to get it, nearly did just for the colour.

Anyway, time to get some more K's on the clock.............................................
