Probably one of the most underestimated bikes on Earth.

A kickass allrounder!

 
  Corners the same level or even better than new VFR on mountain passes because of it´s low centre of mass, does twisties better than competitiors - Tiger, V-Strom, Caponord, Varadero. Gravelroad master - very stable on even high speeds, telelever technology front suspension and ABS brakes does it´s job well and curve capable on open rocks indeed. Has huge amounts of torque on low rpms - the one-and-only BMW boxer engine, thus you don´t need to change gears much, it just pulls you on every rpm scale. Maintanance intervals are relatively long, very simple and reliable engine to do all the work yourself - cheap to maintain (opposite to most people opinions - BMWs are expensive to maintain - wrong)!

Try one now. :)
