Let's face it, when we all think of a BMW R 1300 GS we directly associate it with traveling long routes anywhere on the planet in an efficient and safe way, as well as comfortable. However, there are others like Greg MansellGeneral Director of The Mansell Collection (a motorcycle dealership located in Jersey, one of the islands located off the French coast), who do not think the same.
Perhaps that is why this year he presented himself with a BMW R 1300GS prepared to the teeth to undertake the famous climb to Bouley Hill that takes place in the month of April, and try to beat the current record, set at 45.9 seconds. And he almost did it, since Mansell and his team were just 0.7 seconds behind it, established in 2010.

To all of the above we must add the fact that brands such as BMW or Ducati already have their sports versions of the respective adventures that make up their range. Both the Ducati Multistrada V4 RS and the BMW M 1000
