Sounds more like a cut and paste from BMWs marketing department.

Maximum return on investment mmmm. Sounds like some city slicker investment brochure.. There again who am I to say?
I’ve been around the whole school of hard knocks to make some rational judgments.

Pretty accurate read

I assume the article is the equivalent of "Fake News" as having read it twice I can find no reference to the need for a 17" front wheel or that the shaft drive is more efficient than a chain drive

I definately agree with one quote out of that article....

"...and all the smartest people BMW has to offer all taking me for a ride"

Stick like you said...
Like moths to light the BMW hating Monthy Python brigade congregates...makes me wonder why those guys have nothing better to do than putting down lame comments in a BMW enthusiast forum...life must really sucks for these poor souls...
I myself found it a pretty accurate description from a new to BMW guy about the GS and their riders...

Hey, I love my BMW R1200GS Adventure Triple Fast

Warlord you are alright even if I don't understand why you ride a boring Honda where the slow steering,slow engine,sloppy suspension and tubed tires all compliment each other, next to your fine piece of german engineering...
You are definitely not one of the 4 or 5 stray dogs defecating all over the forum with their hatred for all things BMW,bikes or riders.
Peace brother !

Africa Twin was cheap at £70 per month and no deposit. It's also much easier to wash after a mudfest.

I don't mind abusing the HAT and throwing it down a mountain.

While my GSA Triple Fast is my go to multi-tool for all weather, all adventuring, all fun, all year round riding.

Hey, I love my BMW R1200GS Adventure Triple Fast

I am a lover also, lets show some love.........

 

[Boxerlust]

The haters need some love too...
Warlord I guess the A-T is a better Dirt-bike than the 1200GS with chain and 21 inch front-wheel and a little cheaper to buy...but I try to stay away from the dirt...that is why I would prefer the 17 inch front as an option for the GS...of course in triple-black...

Yep another BMW hater here - hold on why have I got this in the garage then



Still at least it's got a proper sized 19" front wheel

 

[Boxerlust]

Paul I very much prefer the 17 inch front-wheel on my 2016 R9T...much quicker steering than any
UrbanG/Scrambler... Nice looking bikes,though.You got removed from the hater-list...

You got removed from the hater-list.

Think you will have a hard time making a correct list of haters or lovers unless you subscribe, you will be amazed by how many members here have several bikes, and have had certainly more than I could ever afford in 2 lifetimes.

 

[daviedevs]

I love my 2017 GSA TE. Then again I also love my 1999 Guzzi Quota 1100ES.

 

[Deleted account 190920002]

I don’t know this hater stuff ( its stupid statement)I’ve loved all my bikes even the first (bsa c15) and fifty five years and countless bikes later I’ve loved em all. But there again they’ve all been a means to an end which is biking, that’s my love. Never knew this hatred thing what is it?
