BMWMCQ BooK EXChANGE

In 2019 we had Duncan’s school reunion to attend near Mansfield in Victoria, and made the decision to hire a newly released 1250GS and 750GS for the weekend.

We had a ball and were able to assess the capability of these bikes by taking them on dirt roads and even up Mt Buller in the snow! Much better than a measly short test ride around the block. My other local hire experiences have been a fun Triumph Street Triple 660 from Eagle Riders in Springwood and a Harley 800 Iron and an Indian Scout from Rent This Bike - also in Springwood. So I am now a committed bike renter and love the variety of riding different styles of bike. And the big question – did I fall in love with the low suspension 1200GS – yes I did! Seriously now considering one for our big ride around South America in 2024.

Keeping the hire R1200GS Covid safe!
