Dual Sport reviews

Motorcycle with lots of power and fun to ride. Not as maneuverable as a dirt bike but still very capable on gravel roads and double tracks. I rode the Smokey Mountain 500 on this bike and had no problems crossing creeks or on the yellow loop. Some parts of the yellow loop were at the limit of my skills on this bike (muddy and rutted climb and single track section). Getting to the start of your off road adventure is a breeze. I have no problem with the fact that it has no traction control, you just have to control your wrist, that’s all the traction control you need.😂 Show less

This F700GS factory low was used primarily for long trips. Most of the mileage was on the road rather than in town local riding. Owner is a MSF RiderCoach so the bike has had a good life. The bike was always garaged, factory maintenance was done on time and T-CLOCS was done before every ride. The included equipment makes it ready for any trip or adventure. Show less

I have not ridden this bike very much. Most of my riding has been on pavement and very little off-road. However, I had a lot of fun going places and getting to know the bike. What impressed me was how smooth the bike rides were and the power it had when needed. I enjoyed the bike while I had it, but now that I am moving across the US, I have no way to take it with me.

Very fast bike, and for a sports bike , it has a comfortable ride . Live the option of having the back seat or the rear seat cowl as well. It’s also a good and comfortable ride for the person sitting on the back seat. Show less

This is by far the best bike in terms of corner handling. You can ease into corners at any speed and feel comfortable with the brembo brakes. The torque is top notch as well as the top speed. This has been my favorite motorcycle I’ve ever owned. Show less

Hands down the best bike I've ever owned and I've been riding for 40 years. This IS the bike for everything, on road, off road, two up or solo it climbs hills like a Billy goat and cruises at 80MPH without breaking a sweat. I've crossed rivers with fully loaded painters and been coast to coast on this bike. I don't like the NAV6 Garmin GPS. I've replaced it 3 times, each time it seems to work for a year or so then flakes out, i don't think it can handle any moisture which is pretty silly on an adventure bike. All in all however its a tremendous piece of machinery. Show less

I personally LOVED owning and riding my 2016 R1200GS. I never initially considered buying this bike and was going to buy something else. I thought that I wanted something more pretty, less unique or more powerful...but then I took it for a test ride and understood the hype about BMW GS bikes. The BMW build quality is just awesome. They do it the best direct from the factory with high quality components throughout: Adjustable Sachs suspension, Brembo brakes, braided stainless coated hydraulics, LED lighting, Bosch electronics and tech that surpasses all others. The handling is second to none with a circle turn radius of less than 8 feet . The braking is amaizing, where there is NO dive due to BMW lever suspension system. The bike squats upon hard braking instead of diving from traditional telescopic fork tube suspension. The low center of gravity and torque from the boxer motor is more than adequate and reliability is off the charts. There are more BMW boxers are on the road eating up greater miles compared to others. The torque and HP are enough that I never had to disable the default traction control to get more out of the 1200 engine. It truely is enough and I'm not a small guy. The only downside if it's even considered negative is the tall riding stance and wind protection, but these minor shortcomings that can be solved with greater wind protection mods and lower seat/suspension mods. Touring with the GS is just amaizing too. I could safely stand, stretch and change into so many different comfy riding positions that I would run out of fuel before growing fatigued or uncomfortable. I would honestly implore. Yes, IMPLORE you to try out a GS. If haven't rode a BMW GS, don't wait it will most likely be the one you buy. Also, the different and unique look of the GS is something that will grow in your heart throughout ownership. IMHO it's one of the best looking motorcycles made. After owning my GS for 8 years, I now understand why they will forever be cemented as icons amongst motorcycle enthusiasts. Show less

Have really enjoyed this bike! Only regret is not having the time to ride it more! Have owned several bikes, Harleys, Sport Bikes and others and get more compliments on this bike than any other. Just a cool looking blend of retro and modern that just works. A blast to ride. Abundant torque, great in the turns and comfortable for me for 2-3 hour stints for sure. Heated grips are great to have and accessory power hook up for heated jacket pants or use as battery tender installed. I am selling it for two reasons. #1. Kids are all out of the house and wife and I downsized. No more three car garage:( #2. Purchased 2023 GS 1250 R to take longer trips now that kids are off the payroll:) Show less
