I’m warming to it. More so after a ride on an MT10 sp last week. Connection? Only that I have a 1250 GS and have been looking at alternatives. The shock for me was finding the GS to be better, in context, on the roads I ride. The MT whilst having more acceleration and top end, is not faster down an unknown average surfaced road. Currently staying in Sort in the Pyrenees. Nothing has come past me today on the the twisty roads…but I have gone past a few different bikes..got to wonder how the new one will go. I would love to see a 17” front wheel version, though to be fair most of it is in the head. The 19” front rim does not slow the bike down
Plus 1. As to front end feeling, I have just found a sweet spot with tyres and suspension setting on my current GS. Wish I had worked it out 19000 kilometres earlier!
