Unfortunately the best tyres available for the GS are 020s (and even then the compound is a little harder I believe), and this is due to the wheel/rim sizes. Swap over the wheels from the ST (17" wheels with 180 & 120 profiles) and you could put on whatever you fancied. I'm amazed that BMW can't see that a lot of peeps out there want a supermoto/real-world bike and not an off-road pretender.
Doing what I want to do to a GS would probably mean an extra 5k on top of the purchase price, which makes it one hell of an expensive motorcycle.
