I test rode an 800 GS and loved it. Cost as much as two NCs.

Perfect said!... I am slowly realizing that BMW are to touring and adventure bikes as Harley Davidson is to cruisers. It is an image... almost a cult. Sometimes they are a great choice, sometimes it not and much of the time you are buying into a name, or a club...
I've never owned a BMW... <snip> However, I am slowly realizing that BMW are to touring and adventure bikes as Harley Davidson is to cruisers. It is an image... almost a cult. Sometimes they are a great choice, sometimes it not and much of the time you are buying into a name, or a club.
My focus is on-road, so adventure bikes like an AT, or BMW GSA is not a direction I am interested in.
But lately I am not sure about them. Not just because of the latest recall, but for all the reliability issues and sheer cost of ownership.
For now, I continue to be good with the NC. It is a jack of all trades that works for me right now. A daily commuter, occasional long rides and tours, and easy to ride (this is only my 2nd year riding).
Careful what you learn without any experience. ... If this is a "club" or a "cult", then it has been one of the most rewarding interpersonal experiences of my life
A GS ADV with Pilot Road tires is considered by many to be the best long-distance touring bike available...
I think it is a wonderful bike and it puts a huuuuuuuge grin on my face when I twist the throttle. That is ALL I care about.
I've never heard of anyone complain about how a BMW operated.
Yeah. Everybody should have the same ideals and all ; }Haters gonna hate.
