Great photography.
Unless you can speak German, just turn it down and look at the pretty pics...

I'm curious about the fact that one or two of them like to hang of the GS on corners. I used to do this a bit years ago on my thundercat and VFR but have never felt the need on a GS. Can anyone confirm or deny that it has any effect or is it just that the riders do habitually as they normally ride sports bikes?

I often do.. ��
Yeah... (I'm gonna get slammed here)....
But in my opinion, in your above picture you're doing it wrong.
Leaning off is designed to reduce the lean angle of your bike so you have more traction, stability and faster corner exit. So your body should have a greater lean angle than the bike itself.
In your picture above, you're making the bike do all the work and asking it to do more than you (lean angle of bike is greater than your body). Your head should be down by your mirror, not in the middle of the bike.
I've always had the opinion, and I could be wrong, but when it comes to lean angles, don't ever ask your bike to lean over more than you're prepared to do yourself.
Cheers for the advice, Valentino.. ��
Yeah well I've just posted a picture of me doing it wrong as well. So if you don't want to hear it, carry on...
But I've got my knee down, so I'm, factually, much faster and cooler....
