Could The New BMW R 1300 GS Be On Its Way? (msn.com) New GS? Article reports on a new GS of unknown size. It shows a heavily camouflaged test mule. Why? No manufacturer is going to copy the look of BMW. Especially the cylinder orientation. It also talks about "M" versions. I'm guessing for even More Money.

Somehow it doesn't look all that enormous. Looking at the rider it appears reasonably sized. Always happy to see there are companies pushing forward with new adventures designs.

If luck was with you by not cutting it completely, let's hope it's with you again and you don't lose some mobility. And if you're right-handed, you also have luck on your side

In 2019 Yamaha started a rental program in France. It's now expanded the program to Italy. Link: Yamaha Takes YOU Rent Motorbike Program Entirely Online In Italy (msn.com)
That's what I call a fantastic fly-n-ride opportunity.

It's not just France and Italy. My KTM dealer is also a Yamaha dealer. The GM has been telling me about the Yamaha rental program for quite a while. They have their website up now.

Yamaha Rentals

It started with Yamaha, but since they sell more Spyders than any other dealer on the face of the earth (true), it's expanded to that line, their Polaris line, and we've talked about other lines, but I don't think he's ready to announce anything beyond the website.

Yes, life if going well for him. Professionally he's gone from the largest Suzuki dealership in the country to the largest volume Spyder dealer on the planet. Personally he's pretty thrilled about his recent addition of a grandchild. Talks to Kevin several times a week, if not daily. Runs his own lock smith business when he's not at the dealership. He's busy and likes it.
