BMW R1200GS (2004 - 2006)

Reviewed: 25 June 2010 by Visordown

Clamber aboard the GS and the feeling of sheer, designed-in competence hits home within 100 feet of leaving the gas station.

just changed back to a GS from 53000 miles on a K1200R and a bit less on a GSXR1000. It's like putting a top quality walking boot on after top notch trainers, but I know I will get used to it and love it,and it will also retain its value like no other popular bike.

	Far from pretty, and far from cheap too. Even second hand bikes hold their value.
