Production totalled 21,864 bikes. It was the first in the BMW GS family of specialised dual-sport bikes, of which over 500,000 have been produced. The designation G/S is an acronym of the German words Gelände/Strasse, which mean offroad/road – highlighting the bike's dual sport design.

Ho Chi Minh Wheels

Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam is a rapidly developing city with some dramatic increases seen over the last few years in building construction and road traffic. The traffic appears to comprise of mostly motorcycles which are the most popular form of transport and you feel that there would be no way to cross the streets with such large swarms of mopeds and motorcycles which relentlessly fill the streets. However the technique is to slowly and positively walk out into the street and magically (well so far!) the motorcyclists swing around you to avoid you but never of course slowing down.
