we all have opinions ,lets be nice .... if you own a BMW and your offended here , I dont think anyone has tried to be offensive in their opinions , a BMW owner might be on the wrong forum site . I do not go on the BMW forum sites and trash talk their bikes , but I can discuss the virtues of the Tenere v GS here and should be safe doing so . I think the GS is a great bike in so many ways and with out it there would be no super Tenere to have this discussion at all . my 2012 lived outside for as long as I had owned it , never garaged sometimes I would put the cover on it . wonder how a GS would fair treated the same way . my new Tenere lives outside too. (wonder what a garage is like having never had one ) go look at a few years old garage kept GS at a dealer , they can look a little used shall we say . I would look at my 12 and say , she still good going to ride you a bit more.
birds of a feather gather together , be it bike brands or type of bike within that brand , the style of riding it promotes . the car s we drive our neighborhoods our cities our political leanings ,religion or denominations , blonds v redheads v brunettes , nerds v jocks the list goes on and on . and the choices we make , I chose to buy another Tenere after I was treated rather poorly at the BMW dealer , so I left . I may never no how great a GS really is or how bad ,but I know the Tenere . and I find myself wanting to know just how does a GS feel and handle , I might just have to find a BMW dealer that's not a bunch of a-holes and try one out . I could see me owning one , heck found a great deal on a 1290 s at the KTM dealer , but it has a chain .
In short if you jumped off the Yamaha ship and landed on a BMW ship , that's cool for you , I might even be a bit envious . we have our opinions here one and all , if your shorts are in a wad over opinions take a deep breath we are not anyones enemy here , passionate at times and that spills over . but it can make life more interesting . there is a Mexican restaurant I enjoy not far from my house , good food , but one would never no they serve 2 styles of salsa , you only get the generic unless you know about the other and ask ..... I saw something different and asked so now I'm in the know at the restaurant . its a way to learn. ( the second secret salsa is smoking ) that's all for now my fellow forum members.
got to go stand in line with half the people I think are idiots this morning and vote. and half the people that I don't agree with will think im an idiot for the way im going to vote . just the way it is.
