I'm not sure generalizing about riders of particular marques is helpful; what you have written sounds like inverted snobbery or class envy (also quite prevalent on this site from time to time) and it has driven away at least one very interesting contributor who just plain got cheesed off with it.
I think Grant & Susan rode a BMW, Tiffany Coates rides one and also a number of other folk who would probably help a stranded rider. Have I made my point yet?

I thought I had heard it all, but 'inverted snobbery' was good for a few chuckles. I have owned 3 gsa's and am perfectly fine with the stereotype because it is true a lot of the time. There will always be exceptions. There are plenty of good people who ride R1200's. They are the type of people who would never think about terms like 'class envy' or 'inverted snobbery.'
