Which one you get will be determined by your budget. The BMW GS is the gold standard and used to be a different bodystyle with the 1150 (and 1100 before that). A worthy competitor can be found in the more off-road oriented KTM Adventure and the more road-oriented Triumph Tiger. They're usually called adventure bikes, sometimes big trailies. I got a 2005 955i Tiger 4 years ago and have hardly used it. PM me if you're interested- I'd be looking for around $4k I suppose. I got it from a Triumph mechanic who put Daytona cams in it and I've been told it's making about 130hp. It's certainly fast and they always handled good. Very comfortable.
