The GS Page
This page and section is
specific to the BMW GS class of dual sport adventure motorcycle and related content.
It is a bit random. Whimsy and serendipity play a significant role in what ends up
here. If you have suggestions send them to
FAQ for the
BMW-GS mailing list -- one of the most complete and focused of the BMW
motorcycle mailing lists, the BMW-GS is a
topical mailing list for discussion of all facets of ownership and riding of BMW GS series
dual-purpose motorcycles. Topics dealing with the GS's close relatives (e.g. R80ST,
R100/850/1100/1150R, F650) may also be appropriate provided they have some relevance either to
GS's or to off-pavement touring/riding on an absurdly heavy motorcycle.
