It will be intersting to watch this development, considering that BMW is moving towars lighter more off-road oriented bikes. I guess the mext R1200GS will be even more of a road bike than its previous incarnations. Look what happened to the Tiger. Although some riders manage to do fairly well the big bikes are still pigs when it comes to off-gravel road rides. The potential to destroy a bike you've just paid close to 30000 grand for is high and with so much weight involved the risk of injury is also considerable. As far as I am concerned I've done my dash of throwing around the 1150. As it is the Basic is still heavy enough to make it challenging to ride it in rough conditions. Challenging enough for me anyway, as I'll never be a jumping and wheeling kind of rider, too late for that.Let's hope Vege gets his A into G and sets a new date for the missed adventure ride.
