I’ve got a '16 R1200 GSA, it’s ok but I test rode a Rallye and loved it. The local dealer offered me shit money on a px so I’m having a think.
A while back I Adventure spec'd my old GS, more carrying capacity and better protection.
Is it possible/feasible to convert a GSA to a GS fuel tank set up for less than trading the bike?

Dunno but sell it private as you will get a darn sight more for it. Right time of year. We just sold a car that a dealer offered us 2k for against a 26k new one,,, private for £4350.

Advertise it for offered price + 50%

I predict a lot of demand for bikes in the next week.

Offered price + 50%???!
Where do you get that idea from??
You’ve obviously never worked in the bike trade.

Maybe on a bike with a trade in value of a grand.....but a ‘16 plate 1200GSA??

You’re dreaming....15 years in the bike trade.
