Yeah, whatever...sorry, but in my experience GS are generally pretty reliable. I know its fun to hop on the anti-GS bandwagon, but...
Who says you have to "push the limits" to have fun? Again, there's a large gap between riding a 125cc and "pushing the limits", and I enjoy spending my vacations squarely within that gap.

Depends where you are riding. Some places you can push limits on a 125.
As for the GS reference, you misread / misquoted. I was referring to having to drag a full toolkit / extensive spares so as to tour on my Husky. That weight would have pushed me to needing a bigger bike to carry the load.
And for the Husky, that's necessary, at least spare chain and all the associated tools / pullers to service it. Plus the clutch service items.
As it happens though, I'm one of the apparently few riders who are GS haters, based on personal experience. My '98 RGS that I bought new has been the single most unreliable vehicle I've ever owned (going back to 1973), followed by my Husky, although the Husky would have to compete with my '69 Renault 10.
My much-despised chinabike (by the motorcycle' experts' here and elsewhere) has been more reliable than either of those two bikes.
