Is a BMW R1200GS too much bike for a new rider?
I've only just passed my test and I'm looking for a Bike. It has been suggested to me that the BMW R1200GS is too big and too powerful for me as a new rider and that I should get 12 months experience on a smaller more managable bike.
It's also been said that the orientation of the engine makes for a difficult ride, which is made harder by being shaft driven.
Obviously the BMW salesmen feel that these are minor problems that I would overcome quite quickly and are keen for me to take a test drive.
Any opinions would be helpful, thanks.
