Went 'real' offroad riding for the first time with Hyperion today ! What a delightfull bike, his weight doesn't bother me at all. And that boxerengine, amazing ! I have Heidenau K60 Scout on him as roadtyre, but it is okay for modest offroading too. He slipped and slided a bit, but not the same as my first courses with the Dakar... You just put this R1100GS in second gear, and he pulls himself out of the mud. Okay given, the ground beneath the mud was solid... otherwise, the Heidenau's wouldn't have done the job.
