      The best bike: - BMW R1300 GS Adventure
      I choose the BMW R1300 GS Adventure for it comfort, power, long range touring capabilities.

It's comfortable on long journey's, powerful on highways, stable at high speed, and surprisingly stable at rough road and bumpy trails. which is the best thing about this bike.
