Somewhere beyond that asphalt highway there's a nameless unpaved road with your name on it. Sounds like the sort of place that the adventurous R 1150 GS was designed and engineered to go. It's got a torquey engine, dirt-worthy suspension, and the same six-speed tranny, first seen on the sporty R 1100 S. It's the perfect bike for when you want to get out of Dodge. Or ride to it, for that matter.
