Actually I think the OP is dead on right about all the non sense hype concerning the GS. However, all the hype is bringing in $$ and that is what it is all about. Anyone who knows anything about motorcycles won't deny the GS is too big to do any serious "off road", unless you are 20 years old and a professional. I personally love the look of the GS and if I was a big girl I would probably ride one of the larger GS's, but I'm not so I'll stick to my F700GS. I also think that they are given way too much coverage, but again it is about what will sell. It doesn't matter if it makes good sense or not. Also the OP has every right to his opinion .
Is this what BMWMOA has become? IAN thinks and hopes so. For his hopes and dreams I truly appreciate his work.
I am very interested in your results with the 310, because I know you will ride them a lot and honestly report your impressions and problems (if any)We - Voni and I - are seriously going to lay out the bucks to buy in to the GS frenzy. We have committed to buy two - yes two - brand new GS bikes ASAP.
G310GS bikes.
Then you can all laugh or cry with our success or failures as the case may be.

What the ON needs is a decent balance over the months. Sure, some months it might not seem so. It needs good tech. I wrote for 20 years. Yes - 20 years. I am not seeing what I, an several others including Matt did for years and years. Now the new gurus who write on ADV, and this forum and every else where it is not edited or peer reviewed, and other places need to step up to edited printed journalism. That is what I wrote in my swan song article. I am NOT seeing it. And we need more decent if not pro authors, and less ego from the editor, and a bunch more. I still like the ON. But diversity in what it contains never, ever hurts.
The roads, hiways, interstates, back roads, city streets, all inclusive are all in bad shape. Between that and all the junk coming off cars, trucks, big rigs, that's laying in the road way, you really need a GS style just to ride the so-called 'improved' roads in this country. No, I don't own or ride a GS style bike. I need to get one though.
