GS's (rant!) - SV650.org

When will some people realise, that the BMW GS is not a commuting bike!

In fact, any BMW with those irritatingly wide opposed cylinders really is not compatible with a Bike Bay!

You want to commute on a bike... get something else, and leave the old-man-mobiles at home!

I think someone had their parking spot nicked. There, there, now calm down have your cup of cocoa, it's just someone having a midlife crisis.

Cocoa? Too bloody hot for that... I'm off to get a Frappa-wotsit!

Oh come on Billy it's a great bike. Commuting? Does it brilliantly. Wide? No more so than some other bikes. The riders? Well that I can't argue with

It's not what you ride, it's how you ride it, seen plenty of badly parked bikes taking up too much room, Let the GS be

Agreed, although cruisers are worse. They are are so long that they have to park diagonally in the bay!
