Taken from the 2012 Iceland frozen section tour...
My personal bike named (due to the country and the license plate ending in SL) Sleipnir the eight-legged horse of Odin.
BMW's latest 650cc single offering to the light adventure / touring market is the g650gs.
Pros: flexible engines with a very broad power band, very light and agile, a comfortable seat, ABS as standard and stock road tyres fairly grippy on gravel roads.
Cons: low handlebars for standing up work, gear shift and rear break levers can't be effectively used standing up or wearing boots, minimal wind protection, weak battery and poorly shaped front cut outs.
Overall: perfect for the tour around Iceland but not gnarly enough for real hard biker types.
