Well scratch my little cotton socks ::007:: just a few comments regarding adventure bikes,
When I started looking at adventure bikes I always said "WOW"it's got to be the Gs,all the Big media company's giving it the thumbs up ,in fact you couldn't even have a shootout /review without a GS lurking in the background waiting to be pulled up and giving 1st prize or it started with a gaggle of bikes waiting to see if the could ever live up to the mighty GS and guess what ,you guessed it -NO
well these are my thoughts ::017::
BMW -after the 1150 GS everything went down hill,riders that had the 1200 wouldn't even go outside the door without the extended warranty(and rightly so) ::025::from final drive failure,ABS pump failure,reset service light €60 ,corrosion........(high reports from GS sites ).
The more I read about the GS :-[
So the new GS came out looking all shiny& new but I read somewhere that you can't plug a air compressor into the 12v socket because the computers say no and switch off (Like proper adventure bike) ::025:: computers need to say yes(with a dealers fee) to installing AUX lights ::001:: I wonder if you had to go through the desert life or death on a bike and you couldn't afford a breakdown would you pick the BMW or the Tenere ?? I won't include the KTM on that because it would probably need a valve clearance halfway ::26::
The Tenere is an absolute bulletproof bike ::022:: bang in a drop of petrol now and again and maybe if she's good treat her to a whiff of fresh oil and she's good to go -Nuff said
Ps your thoughts on the desert thing
