Amen to that. Common theme emerging from many posts. The BMW R1200GS/A can get you into trouble faster than it can get you out. A great road bike, but dressed up only to look enduro - that's all!...

Great story - thanks for posting.

Atomicalex :-
I don't think so. I think he had a top box on a rack in the rear of his bike. This is clearly the case as he said:

Very little dive - almost none. The 'flickability' is also very good. Going from say a LH turn to a RH turn, there is very little force that you need to apply to the steering. The...
