The BMW R1200GS???? !ColoRider said:Nice teaser.............
Okay, I've made up my mind!!! Guess which one I'm getting!!!!
Considering today's journalism, they probably didn't make one. Wouldn't want to offend any manufacturer.Venture said:Anyone care to guess the verdict?
Oh I dunno about that - the Brit rags, Fastbikes and Bike, seem to have no problemswitchback said:Considering today's journalism, they probably didn't make one. Wouldn't want to offend any manufacturer.

Consider the source: The writers/editors are dirt bikers. So, their yardstick is what is some pretty technical off-road riding, including single track and boulders. They thought the ST would be fine for long-distance travel with some off-road...which is in keeping with the other press I've read and the interests and desires of many of us here; LD tours with the ability to take the road less traveled, dirt and access roads. Kind of sums up my needs. I'm not looking for a dirt tracker..but something to eat up long distance and allow me take on the occasional gravel and dirt road.
Let's put this into perspective; The bike weighs 570 pounds, with skid plate, bars, bags and camping equipment, we're probably looking at 630 - 650 pounds for most of us.
We really going to single track with that much weight?
