2003 BMW R 1150 GS Adventure review from Sweden
"The perfect all-round bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing.
General comments?
I've owned several motorcycles and this is my favourite.
The quality of the bike is extraordinary.
It looks intimidating at first, but it's very easy to handle once you get rolling.
The seating position is very high, but you can buy a lower seat.
The ABS brakes are fantastic. I did not think I'd need them, but I've changed my mind.
My bike was delivered with ABS brakes, aluminium panniers, low first gear and heated grips. I use the heated grips very often, even in the summer.
I can spend a whole day on the bike without getting tired.
