While I agree with this Dan, it still shocks me that the big BM GS was, now get this, the number 1 selling bike, of all bikes sold in the UK last year (or the year before, -can't remember which). This surprised the hell out of me when I read it.  

The Brits seem to love this thing, FWIW.

Maybe it's the cycling documentary Long Way Around  that still has the Brits excited.

The Beemer's GS is a nice bike but I still wish they'd have taken the KTM's--or better yet, one of each.  And maybe the Cameraman on a KLR 650.!?  Or the Super Tenere. ?  Talk about a good shootout.

$20,000?  :scratch_one-s_head: I guess I will be riding that 25 year old motorcycle a while longer.


When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Ah, but you'd only have to buy oneof these. Not one of each generation. And color.
