2020 BMW R1250GS | Luxury Adventure… with Compromises

The #bmwmotorrad #r1250gs is a legend - but why? What makes it so appealing? To find out, I bought a 2020 BMW R1250GS HP and rode it for the past 9 months. While nothing else quite equals this as an all-around premium motorcycle, it's still (in my experience) too big and heavy for serious off road adventures. Let me show you why. #motorcycle #advrider #dualsport #motorbike
