Just bought my first S10 (2018) after owning two BMW GS (1200 GS and 850 GSA). Love it very much so far. Previous owner kept it in mint condition. Only 20,000 km. Bought it for reliability, comfort, look (yes, it's good looking) and low cost of maintenance. Did a 4,000 km trip with my last GS in 2024. Planning a 15,000+ km trip with the S10 in 2026...

Cost of ownership and bad experiences with dealerships (two!). Otherwise, fantastic bikes.

Indeed, you can get very remote on gravel roads up north. Take a look at my YouTube video series on the Trans-Taiga road. 666 km one-way on gravel. At the end, the Caniapiscau reservoir, you're more than 800 km away from the nearest town (Radisson) which is very remote itself! Labrador and the Maritimes are quite impressive too. https://www.youtube.com/@sylvaincoulombe6355/videos

Hoping to ride to Yukon next summer.

Must be good in Australia too!

I take it that you must have a support vehicle or something like that otherwise all of your load would be carrying fuel.
I get about 300km from a tank before the reserve flashy thing comes on.

Have you ridden to Tuktoyaktuk ? 600 miles of gravel one way.

We did it in complete autonomy but since there is an outfitter about 300 km in, we could get gas, food and a warm bed over there. The last leg is 360 km, roundtrip of 720 km. We had extra gas and all the camping gears.

I've been looking at this destination for a while, but I think it'll be the Arctic Circle line for me. Anyway, still a dream at this point!

Congrats on the new bike. I rode all around the Gaspe bay what a great ride.
