As Adventure Touring machines, the word that holds the most importance is "touring." In all reality, "adventure" can be had on- or off-road, but the GS models are touring bikes first and foremost which meant that to fully appreciate what they have to offer required long distances in the saddle. Fortunately, that's exactly what the big Beemers are good at, rider accommodations.
