Just read the Bike article, made me remember why i dont buy mags anymore. The usual regurgitated ill informed twaddle. I do lots of riding in the company of VFRs my gen1 always beats them on fuel consumption and range whilst travelling at the same speed. I admit they are a good bike as long as you dont have to do your own maintenance. As for the BMW GS well i had a brief spell of ownership, it doesn't do anything as well as the Fazer, i would even prefer to take the Fazer off road, at least i would be able to pick it up when i fell off. My tip is enjoy what you have, and forget about the latest overpriced stuff in the mags you will be much happier, as i am for getting that lot off my chest.
