DR750/800 vrs GS1100/1150

[mrblackrifle]

Has anyone on here got a DR and a GS how do the two compare ?
it was interesting reading that the DR compares well to a xt660 I was quite surprised considering the age difference.

I have all three , DR750,DR800,xt660 tenere ,1150 GS

Lucky bugger which one do you ride the most do you find the bmw controls a pain?

[spendango]

Probably use the DR800 the most as the tenere is nearly new and the weather has been shite ,The Bmw is lovely and smooth but is a heavy f..ker with the boxes and stuff on it ,They are all different and all do some things better than the others ,just depends what your wanting to do .

Ive had 3 1150s. They are a great bike tho as spen says heavy. Even with just a tankful of petrol.
If i had the choice between dr and gs and money no issue? Gs1150 adventure for me:roll:

my fingsers are tio fat fir the keypad

Yep I like adventures but they are silly money I guess you could have 3 dr's for the price of a GSa

Silly money to buy but you get silly money when you sell also
