Hi My name is Selim, I live in Istanbul. just quit GS riding after 10 years, all types of GS' been ridden, finally got bored.

In January, I've purchased my 2011 ST at 2377 km on the odometer. One guy, a rookie I should say, have purchased that "DA big Blue" in December 2011. That is the last sold Blue ST in Turkey out of the stocks and 2012 comes with the white one in Europe. Blue is discontinued. Anyway, the guy had owned my bike for almost 2 months and 2377km and he decided, he had to continue with a 1200 GS ADV ::002::

When I met him and said that I had just quit the GS riding after 10 consecutive years, as a rookie, he did not understand why I did that ::013::

Anyway, I did purchase "Da big Blue" and that's one of the best things I'd done in my last few years.

I have triple Yamaha case set, Yamaha tour visor, deflectors, Yamaha skid plate, Touratech engine guard, TT Micro DE with Xenon, TT headlight protection on it.

For me, I feel that I only did not break the box at the purchase, otherwise I fell like I bought it brand new.

Glad to meet you all.

Hi Selim,
Welcome to this forum from the Netherlands.
I already met some Turkish Varaderoriders from Istanbul and had some rides with them in your beautiful country.
Visited Istanbul last year, so a very warm welcome, like we had in your town.
grtz,

Mense
