I’ve had my test ride on a 2017 GS and decided to buy it.

It certainly felt a bit ‘odd’ compared to my usual bikes. Trading in a Sprint GT as I was fed up manhandling all that weight round the bends.

My OH was pillion for about 10 minutes which was long enough for her to decide she liked it. We had previously tried a 900 Tracer GT which I loved but she hated.

I only had about 50 minutes on the GS. Enough time to discover Dynamic was the way to go when solo.

I definitely think it’ll take a bit of getting used to.

I pick it up next Friday.
 
Nice one.

A bit odd is right with the torque reaction etc but great bikes.

There's a reason BMW sell shit loads...........:okay
 
Enjoy, definitely pillion friendly after 30+ Yrs of mostly solo riding sports and sports tourers, I bought my first GS and now my missus is on the back every opportunity

Handling is deceptively good, dynamic is the way to go when you want to “make progress”

Enjoy you new ride
