BMW GS1150 2005, KTM 990 Alternative

by Bill S
(Phoenix, AZ)

KTM 990 Alternative:

Put 20K on 2005 BMW GS1150. Adequate for paved cornering but not speedy tight corners due to lack of ground clearance and lack of traction on dual purpose tires.

Ok tourer but needs a tourer windshield - huge.

Biggest disappointment? Pothole/bumpy dirt road handlebar stutter. Bummer; could not be fixed.

Boring, expensive to maintain/fix bike. Liked that shaft though.

About Me

Hi, I'm Paul, owner of musthavemotorcycles.com

paul ferguson, must have motorcycles, musthavemotorcycles.com

I've always been interested in bikes and I built this site to help others read about and research their next bike. If you're anything like me the research bit is all part of the fun and if I'm honest I probably put more time into choosing a bike than buying a house!

At the end of each page there is an opportunity to post your thoughts and upload a photo or two. Alternatively, leave comments on the bike via Facebook also at the end of each page.

I hope you find something useful and enjoy the site.
