I'm not trying to take anything away from the S1000rr... but these "awards" are a joke... just like the J.D. Power and Associates, Car and Driver... ect
Gotta agree with you on this...

I think this is where the varying definition of "adventure riding" comes into play.

My definition, for example, is simply riding some distance to someplace to which I've never been. It can be totally on-road the whole way. *shrug*

This debate, however, has been going on for some time.

(by the way, someday there WILL be a GS in my garage )
