Hi everybody!

My partner has just brought a BMW 1200 GS (were collecting it on Saturday!). Having previously had a Susuki SV650 were completing new to the touring world however very excited to join!

We are looking to travel around Europe in future however were looking to do a few shorter trips around the UK in the next couple of months. I just wanted to post a message to see if anybody had any routes that they could suggest, or does anybody have any upcoming trips planned?

I look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon!

Best Wishes
Danielle

Someone was going on about short trips to Norfolk a while back.
That might give you an idea.

Routes are a plenty just search/Google an area that takes your fancy.
do you want routes to plot on maps, or routes to put into a satnav? If yes which satnav.
It would also help us to help you if you could tell us which area you live & outline the stuff you want to see, and the stuff you don`t want to see. As most peoples psychic mind reading powers over the internet are lacking. Maybe filling out your profile a little more would help also.
For a new GS owner I`d suggest lurking over at the UKGSer forum, they have more routes than most. If alpine routes, or routes riding around mountain passes are what your looking for, take a look at the more specialist Alpine roads forum

Where do you live? It'll be easier to make tour suggestions if we know your starting point Thumbs Up

You could have a look at https://www.twistyride.com/Motorcycle-Journey-Planner.html for potential routes.

Also look at the A896 in Scotland ...

.. and stay at least one night at The Torridon
