G650 in MCN

[Tim Cullis]

Review of G650 in mcn. They weren't exactly enthusiastic. I didn't bother reading the bit on the Xmoto, but the Xchallenge was considered too heavy, and the Xcountry has a ridiculously small tank good for just 75 miles.

If BMW still introduces the F800 GS, the segment will get somewhat confusing.

The xmoto I can understand...the xchallenge I can understand...but WTF is the effing scrambler supposed to do? retro trials? what a waste of design effort to make something that looks like a Triumph.... I cant beleive Herr Kraut would actually have come up with it.....
