So, what proportion of these will see real dirt? Even the BMW guys mock the GS crowd, who like Jeepers, a massive majority never use the vehicle that way. But hey, it will sell. I saw they did away with the entry models, so stuff like this is the only way to attract younger riders. Not sure it will work any better than the Livewire. They seem to have a million paths forward, but they cant seem to stay commited.

I like it. But I won't be buying one this late in life.. My wife had a BMW GS650 with hard bags and took it on some pretty epic trips through the PNW, Canadian rockies etc. But she sold it after she moved here and bought a HD Dyna instead. Nowhere to ride the GS.

Wille stopped being comitted when he and Eric split. When working well together they built some pretty impressive motorcycles. I will say out here that style of motorcycles are pretty popular in the touring/off road crowd.
For 18 grand I would rather have a new 114ci Low Rider.

Well, its not really a collaboration, just Harley seeing a niche they can get into. Since BMW sells so many GS, not a bad idea.

There's a joke in there somewhere about whether it's a boy or girl. Or something in-between....

Ugly. And the bags look like camera boxes.

Not a fan of the style, but I dig the engine.
