A good firend of mine let me take his 2012 BMW R1200GS for about an hour or so today. My impressions of the bike are as follows:
Riding position almost identical (the way he had his seat set up), and once you are rolling down the road, almost no noticable difference.
Engine of course has different character, not more powerful, or less, just different.
Quality - I think my S10's build quality/overall quality is absolutely on par with the BMW.
Handling - both bikes behave in much the same manner on the pavement.
That's my impression of it. I am really lucky to have had the chance to ride one and compare to the S10, because I have been wondering.
The BMW is a great bike for sure, but I won't be running out to sell my S10 te get one. Still love my S10.
