I got \u00a35000 for Bertha which I was pleased with. They are selling it for \u00a37995. Whenever I am not on it, I wish I was. As I drift off to sleep most nights, I imagine riding it. I remember going to SBW Motorrad to try an F800gs but that wasn&#8217;t available so I tried this ex-demo and loved it immediately. Even the seat was comfortable&#8230; but great as it was and is to ride, it seemed to lack character and I never deeply bonded with it. Maybe one day I will return to this type of bike. I kitted it out with some huge Touratech panniers and topbox and a few other adventurising bits and pieces. Memorable journeys on this bike are to France and to Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and back via the Baltic countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"448\" src=\"http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/new-1200gs-te.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4231\" srcset=\"http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/new-1200gs-te.jpg 385w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/new-1200gs-te-258x300.jpg 258w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/new-1200gs-te-215x250.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><figcaption>super-agile and slim: that&#8217;s the bike<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Bike-tri-x-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4769\" srcset=\"http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Bike-tri-x-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Bike-tri-x-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Bike-tri-x-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Bike-tri-x-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Bike-tri-x-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Bike-tri-x-480x360.jpg 480w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Bike-tri-x-1216x912.jpg 1216w, http:\/\/obliquepanic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Bike-tri-x-333x250.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Nice pic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After six happy years, in March 2015 I traded it in for the new, liquid cooled(!) boxer engined version. &#8230;this (above), a 2014 R1200GS TE, liquid cooled and super agile and slim compared to Bertha above (you can see her deposited at SBW Motorrad in the background next to the white van).
