Stevie,very easy.Just talk to your dealer and he will tell you that he did not sell as many as he could have otherwise if BMW hasn't jumped on the bandwagon that a real sportbike has to be really useless for anything but riding on a track...
A GS makes slow riders fat and fast riders slow...
It's a nice bike but if you ride in the fast group at trakdays the thing is out of it's element.Too tall with too much movement due to the long suspension and not enough weihgt on the front...
It would be more fun to turn the R1200S into a bike as useful as the GS or better as the R1200R since it already is a decent track hack.
Nothing against the GS,though.The swiss army knife of motorcycles.Jack of all trades...
I had 4 GS's myself but after two R1100S bikes I know better and would not go back on a GS except for the dream trip from Alaska to Fireland planned in a few years...
By then the R1200S-T is out (hopefully) supplementing the R1200S-HP and than I fit wire wheels and knobbies to it...
or ge a used 1200GS-HP2 with a big touratech tank and a pair of alu-panniers...Much better than the Adventure.200 lbs less to pick up...
Of course the new R1200S-HP looks pretty tasty too but another 50% premium over the R1200S,outch,and no makeup bags and no emergency pillion as a track hack only for the few with really deep pockets...
