| BDG,
yep, I am pretty convinced that'll be the replacement for the R1100S. 3 of my mates have them and they swear by them. One is an ex sports bike rider and he says you can still have a ball without going stupidmph, the others are both ex GS owners. Says it all really.
I think the KTM has a lot of the GS positives and better quality suspension components and cheap, nylon bodywork. The only downside seem to the slighty questionable seat comfort, a chain (not idea for maga tours) and the seat height.
How tall are you? Any issues?
