I was looking at a photo of Fishnbiker's Steamer here:

And it occurred to me that, even above any of the BMW GS range, there's isn't a bike looks more at home in the rough than the Steamer.  I'm not talking about doing the Dakar - if you want to do that you need a KTM - just a bike capable of doing serious miles on serious terrain.
