I'd get the BMW

"If, as Tom says, you're doing "50/50 street and dirt," then the littlest GS should register as a top pick for you. And - bonus! - at $7850 it is the least expensive bike, yet includes rider-switchable ABS. A BMW as the cheapest bike? Excuse me whilst I catch my breath. Holding the Beemer back from scoring higher was its power deficit, not so exciting styling and single front brake/rotor combo where the other two bikes offered better performance from dual front calipers and discs."
