Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.
