Firstly don't get up in arms all BM owners. I also ride a BM. I must admit that if i had the shilling. i would have one standing in the garage but i know my riding abilities and i would most probably kill myself on one. The speed and momentum this bike can achieve on gravel is scary. I would easily cruise at 140kmh on gravel with my Dakkie and think nothing of it but that speed on a 1200GS coming into a corner well that's another story. I know one does not feel the weight so i am told by a very old friend of mine who now runs a GS school for BM's. Lieverste Bang Jan as Dooie Jan.
