I was in Barstow, California, the last fuel stop on a long, hot ride to Las Vegas. It was 9:00 at night. I just spent the last seven hours riding the 2005 BMW R 1200 GS across a very hot and crowded desert highway. When I finally got to the hotel and poured myself off the GS, I sat down and thought about what I enjoyed about this bike.
MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: BMW R 1200 GS
Its one of the biggest touring motorcycles on the market, but dont let the large size fool you into thinking you cant handle it. Teri Conrad put the massive machine through its paces on a twisty mountain road and discovered how comfortable and user-friendly the bike really is. Oh… and you cant miss what she thinks of those large, lockable hard saddlebags. She found they can fit some interesting cargo.

The latest iteration of the Sportster 1200 is designed to appeal to riders who dont want to sacrifice power for seat height. The Sportster 1200 just got a little lower making it one the most comfortable, powerful and lowest seat-height motorcycles in the middleweight class.
