According to the latest Ride issue, the optional Sports suspension is not recommended for regular road use as BMW comment the it causes a reduction in "comfort and directional stability on the road"

That's bollocks! 150 miles on B roads & smaller today, and the sport suspension is bloody brilliant. Get onto a faster road, turn the wick up, and the suspension is fantastic. Gsa suspension in a gs chassis; what a bloody great combo.
Look; I even went off-road!

That is an incorrect statement by ride magazine. That particular warning is made by BMW in the manual however it refers to riding the bike on the road in full Enduro mode as it will affect stability and excess dive at speed not Sport suspension. I RTFM'ed

Were you able to bunny hop over that massive boulder sitting to the right (below) of your front wheel ?

I am not being clever Nutty but how is that bike different to your GSA?
They are the same bike but with a few fashion tweaks.

Yep, Dakar style
Exactly.
Wheeling this bike around, and getting it onto the centrestand is much easier.

A load of bollucks.......it's a GS with Adv suspension, Adventures are pretty useful on road, the more stiffly sprung suspension and self levelling esa offer a great ride and squat and dive are less apparent than usual, my take is it's a package that is better than the sum of its parts might suggest.
When scanning magazine articles I have found it useful to read between the lines
