1988 R100GSPD vs 2002 R1150GS
40 miles into an Colorado-Alaska trip in July I blew the bottom end out of my R100GSPD. Three days later I bought a slightly used 2002 1150GS and completed the trip. Now that I had replaced the entire bottom end and freshed the top end, I am considering using the GSPD instead of the 1150GS for a RTW adventure starting next summer. The reasons for considering the GSPD for the journey are: simplicity to work on; low miles on the rest of the bike (26K); and by selling the 1150GS it would stick a bit more money in my jeans to allow me to travel longer. I would invite discussion on the merits of one bike over the other from experienced travellers for this kind of journey.
