Being a dirt-and-mud guy at heart, just looking at these five lined up makes me grin. BMW's F 450 GS coming in lightest at 178kg genuinely surprised me — didn't expect them to push that hard. The Himalayan 450's the heaviest at 196kg, but plenty of riders pick it for durability. Makes me want to test them all in a weekend club race.
