[QUOTE="Pterodactyl, post: 1400440, member: 76805"] I had a S10. I have a 2017 R1200GSA. I prefer the GSA. The engine is smoother with lots of torque and basic maintenance (including valve check & adjustment) is very simple. The S10 engine seems much more agricultural to me and has all the expected traits of a parallel twin which includes buzziness. Adjusting the valves was like building a ship in a bottle. I find the GSA less tiring to ride. It is at home at 80MPH on an interstate, while the S10 seemed very busy at that speed. They are about the same weight and are both okay on dirt/gravel roads. I lived in AK for 16 years and think either is okay for riding the roads such as the Dalton and Denali Hwy. Either will serve you well in Alaska, the GSA will make the ride there and back much more enjoyable. Spousal Unit and I have done the ride several times. The S10 is a great value and has a rock solid reputation for reliability. Ive had the GSA for a year and 16,000 miles with no issues; it is much more expensive. The GSA is my 11th BMW and they have been reliable for me. [/QUOTE]
