Himalayan Vs a GSA 1150
Hey everyone so I've been made redundant at 29 which means can do a few decent trips while I think of what to do next career wise
Mainly thinking Scotland and a few euro trips once I get more confident at tent life  on the bike
Previously had a GSA 1200 lc an a vstrom 1000xt which were good bikes but let down by dealership experience
Would have rather been self servicing
Which leads me to my current conundrum
Got about 4-5k to spend
Always had a soft spot for the 1150 GSA as I guess most of us have
Do I a get back on a beemer
An try hunt down a silver none abs single or twin sparker?
Or go for something different to the big bikes an get a Himalayan.
I don't speed on the roads but like swift cornering and decent acceleration currently riding a rd250lc which has made me re think my big bike theories again. With stunning handling etc
I know Nathan has been cranking the miles on his but just wondering has anyone else gone from a GSA to a Himalayan if so what did you regret or what did you love?
Anyone else done decent miles on one?
edit also considering an 800 GS around a 2008 if anyone has any opinions on them
Huge thanks in advance
