Hey all
Was really surprised today. I needed to drop my BMW F900R into the dealer to have some work done and they have given me a loan bike for 24 hours.
The bike they have given me is a BMW R1300 GS and have to say this thing feels more like a car then a bike…
With a 1.3 ltr engine, adjustable screen, wide front to the bike meaning I don’t get wet when it rained, fully adaptive cruise control, and a clutch less automatic… it just feels very odd for a motorbike.
I will say this, it would be perfect for touring and crunching some serious miles, but can’t see it being any fun for your weekend ride out….
Think we might be getting to the stage where motorbike are getting to many technical gismos… and that’s saying something coming from me….
My loan bike feels like a car 😳
