The bike is great. Everything about it seems light and easy. Clutch, throttle, gears, steering everything is easy. Coming off the GSA** I suppose that’s not surprising but it’s a revelation. I rode the GSA1250 and it’s just humunguous - physically and in power. 137bhp and 260+kg does not appeal to me. Whereas, strangely, 80bhp (and 80 torques) and 210kg does appeal. It’s also ooozes build quality. The paint job looks at least fabulous as is the fit and overall finish . Unlike the BMW where psint looks and is by all accounts wafer thin and everything looks thrown together.
The bike will no doubt have its quirks, like losing a bar end weight on the way home, and not all the accessories turning up on time but tbh I am quite looking forward to some character developing. This is the sort of bike the Africa Twin or the Transalp should have developed into.
If you like the looks, and it’s better in the flesh, take a test ride. You WILL like it.
