It’s a bragging thing, the more gadgets they have the less the owners have to dwell on the fact they’ve been ripped off with a shit car
How much was the Dacia Dirk? Buy new or used by gypsies for lamping?

I’ve got to ask the question, why add that level of complexity in to what is a pretty basic mechanism that rarely goes wrong with a little maintenance, it’s like trying to invent the wheel time after time.
I think it’s made out to be a security feature. It’s handy at the filling station not having to fish around for the key but if the electrics go tits up, there’s no filling up. That said, if the electrics go tits up the the bike is only going anywhere on the back of a truck anyway.

Seems a bit short sighted as a security feature.
A bike in the back of a transit tends not to need fuel.
A scrote will always find a way around "security" features.

Have a Google of the BMW 1300GT.
Serious problems.
Gearbox, fuel, airbox??????stalling, cutting out, refusing to start when hot......

And what's worse, dealerships denied there were problems.

Makes my 1994 K1100 sound heavenly.

I'd probably have a GSA, but definately not a four wheeled penis extension.
You should try a GSA if you get the chance. F’ing heavy first go but you soon get used to it. Best advice I was given - make sure the front wheel is pointing straight ahead when braking to a stop. If she starts tipping, you won’t stop her.

Exactly the reason why I went for the Passo. Lighter, faster, better looking and
doesn't look like a fat ugly two wheeled
tank on steriods.
All the riders are gay apparently?
Oh! & every 'A' hole has one.
just saying loike.:risas3:

What you mean that tupperware tripod that fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down? Yeah, right, ok...........

You have the gayest jacket known to mankind. ‘Nuff said.

I still regret not taking the opportunity to buy an ex demo R1100GS.
Quite the revelation it was, when I had it out as a loan bike for the day.

Could you touch the floor with your feet when sat on a GS?

Yes, but not feet, foot. Plus if I remember correctly the seat had been set to it's lowest setting.
It was way easier to sit on than the Cagiva Elefant that I used to ride.
