I've never owned a BMW GS1200 Adventure, but I've read about them,
seen them in movies, and have a friend who owns one. I bet that
bike would be the 'one ' you'd want for the one bike garage.

Before you run out and buy a late model BMW, it would be wise to do some research. I rode BMW's for 40 years. These new bikes aren't the bikes they were in the old days. I could tell you some stories.....
There are some good reasons BMW was rated last in Consumer Reports reliability data, even lower than H-D. I used to love BMW's. Oh, for the good 'ol days!

Thanks... but no worry's. I'm waiting on my new 14 Dlx to be delivered
That'll keep me busy for a while.
