Cool R1200GS Adventure vs My Tenere

Handed in my Beemer (RT) for a service, and was given the keys to an '09 GS Adventure, with a whole 120 miles on the clock. Its working through its first tankful, I'm actually quite emotional!

The GS is a fabulous and an immensely capable bike, no doubt about it - its almost worth the money BMW want for it

But here is the thing: when I ride my Ten I wheelie over speedbumps, splash through every puddle I see, and have an urge to get it in the mud whenever possible. I basically feel like a kid in brand new wellies splashing through a summer downpour.

On the GS I have no desire to go off-road - its not making me want to do it. I could go on, but here is the bottom line - in the 'smiles per mile' contest the Tenere is a hands-down winner for me!
