I have to ask, what’s the point? Seriously, what’s the point of buying a great adventure bike if you’re never going to go on an adventure with it?
I just got back from the launch of BMW’s new 2024 F900 GS and that’s the question I kept asking myself throughout the trip and the week or so since I was there. Here I was presented with a motorcycle that BMW’s thrown the kitchen sink at in terms of off-road prowess, and I get the distinct feeling from my talks with the company’s team, as well as my own experience within the riding community, that this bike will get bought en masse with road-going tires. Tires meant for carving corners, not dirt banks.
