Zubb 1061 Posted November 6, 2019 Now that’s what I’m talking about big bikes at friggen awesome. I would love to see more options against the BMW. While I love the 1200 to pieces, it won’t get better until someone kicked their ass a little. the big GS ADV is so much more capable than most realize. in my opinion the big advantage is the boxer engine. Your bike is going to fall. And the boxer does not fall flat. That’s why several folks I know sold their 800’s and went back to the 1200 as it was just as easy or easier to pick up than the smaller bike. no one buys a 1200 to ride off-road. It’s to tour “to” the off-road and continue on. That’s the genre I love and embrace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And of course it's not smart to ride one bike and judge the whole breed by it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps you rode a 950? In which case, yes, there have been very dramatic improvements in the bikes since the 950/990 generation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zubb 1061 Posted November 7, 2019 I'll ask him about it. I'm pretty sure it was an 1190, it was not a 950 or 990. My brain isn't always turned up to 10 anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
