You're right, the adverts are total BS ... so tell me what else is new?
So, you've ridden the latest R12 GS WC then? I never said I'd own one (can't afford it!) but I have ridden one. "Fell for it"? haven't owned a BMW since the 1980's. But have ridden all the GS's.
I never rode Dakar on the LC GS or crossed the outback ... but on a nice twisty road, it was good fun and noticeably better than previous generations ... which I have hundreds of hours riding. (R1100, R1150, R1200)
The new GS rides even lighter than previous R12GS. Stunning brakes, great balance and control, plush suspension on bumpy paved roads. Low fatigue, low effort. High confidence. It's a good motorcycle, IMO.
Would I trust it fully loaded, hammering across Baja? No frickin' way!
