I thought that it would be too big for me as the R1150GS certainly; was. I just happened to mention to the salesman that I really fancied a GS but size was a problem so he said try sitting on one. before I took it out he fitted the optional lower seat which was a simple clip off clip on job.
I am seriously considering one for next year

But what better bike to tackle the odd flood than a Beemer traily?
I've long been a convert to the trail bike riding position. My first 250 was
a pukka competition bike with that classic sit-up and beg position and for
urban street use and traffic splitting, there is nothing close. The only
time it falls down if you don't have a screen is above 90, but that Beemer
has one.
Too big for me and too ... er...inelegant looking but understandably one of
the UK's best selling bikes.
