R1150 GS (1999 - 2004) review
A bike that is simply so capable it refuses to lie down and die, even when superceded by the 1200 variant. Awesome

Pros
Rugged, durable and dependable, yes, but also a real hoot to ride.
Cons
And the ground is a long way down on this model - shorties will need a step ladder or a kerb to mount.
A Swiss army bike which can be every tool in the box. Odd looking, but bulletproof. Still in the showrooms alonside new R1200GS.A Swiss army bike which can be every tool in the box. Odd looking, but bulletproof. Still in the showrooms alonside new R1200GS.
