What is it with you and ktms Mac? Are you on commission lol?
The GS, in my case the GSA is the ultimate touring bike. It is very comfy to ride, big fuel tank, massive luggage capacity, easy 2 up if you want to take the ball and chain, 47 mpg long term average, auto box just like the rr, built in sat nav, cruise control, low centre of gravity for the twisties. I really can't fault it. I hated GSs until I tried one so was never a fan of them prior. Also after doing a BMW offroad training course I discovered it is incredible off road too. I am nearly at 19k mikes in 2 years and zero mechanical or electrical issues, never missed a beat. I hope that's not tempting fate as I'm currently a long way from home.
Its not for everyone but as a package it is hard to beat. The K1600 is boring by comparison imo.
