Advantages: excellent torque and performance and excellent chassis Disadvantages: riding position can be a strain after a fir bit of miles on a trip
...I have owned my 636 since it first came out.
I have found the sharp response of the chassis when cornering to be close to perfect. I have ridden an R6 and also ridden with R6's on rideouts and I would say the 636 (2003 model to present) has the edge on corners. I would say the R6 wins on comfort (easier forgiving seat) and also riding position. I did feel the strain after around 70 - 100 miles on the bike on some trips. That however is due to the race nature of the bike. The riding position is one of which was designed more for a racetrack.
I have many good rideouts on my 6r and find that when I let a rideout 'friend' take the bike for a spin; they always come back with a smiling face and praise the bike then-on.
I have attached a 'slip-on' Akrapovic aftermarket exhaust on it now and the sound is one which will make you speechless...

The BMWR1150GS in line with it's predecessors has longer travel suspension, a 30-litre tank combination tyres and other modifications which sharpen its off-road focus although it being on the heavy side. It includes lower first and sixth gear ratios, and luggage options which allow clip on / off panniers.
The spring pre-load adjustment for the front suspension is easy to reach but requires a c-spanner. There's an external adjuster for loading the rear spring which can be operated by hand. A long-handled screwdriver is required to adjust rear suspension damping but the adjuster is easy to reach. But the disadvantage point of that it sits slightly high on the road. Which makes climbing...

This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most products of this type, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great device with... more
The first of my USB lights, which made me realize those things probably aren't supposed to do the job I had expected them to. It's small, cheap, looks good and cute, but I found it useless. The cable is way too short and the clip cannot be attached to... more
