Had a lovely morning out on my oversized, completely unnecessary "Adventure" bike. About 150 miles in total - a good mix of fast A roads, smaller B roads, single track lanes and a paved mountain pass. Rode up to Oswestry, then via the small roads to Lake Vyrnwy and finally over the mountain down to the A470.
Of course it would be possible (easily) to do this on a pure road bike, but for me, the GS (or my Multistrada) is ideal due to it's easy manoeuvrability, excellent view (over hedges etc) and general comfort. Also good to feel confident when its necessary to hop on to the grass verge to avoid oncoming tractors etc.
