Just tested the XR (Just to see what all the fuss is about)
If I wasn't a massive fan of the GS this bike would top my list.
I have never ridden a sports bike only ever big adventure bikes so this may count for nothing
Bonkers performance!
I was going 70'ish and not even close to halfway to the red line.
I would soil myself it I tried to get that far up the rev range.
Scary fast and sill loads to go. You can go everywhere in 5th and 6th, even pootle around town in 6th lol
2nd 3rd and 4th gear seem like a waste of time, the thing should have a 7th' 8th and 9th gear.
Way smoother than the KTM 1290 although a very good bike (I've tried that too) sounds like a bag of spanners in comparison, the seat is comfier too
Its tight and nimble and goes where you aim it without a thought.
Way more comfortable and planted than the 1290 with that BMW riding feel to it, like you are part of something and not just sat on something.
A big thumbs up to all that have bought one its a pocket rocket. I can imagine some big grins coming up across the land
Happy riding all of you

I'm surprised how quick the turn around with ordering parts, everything seems to have or either arriving and non of the gs malarkey waiting months for panniers !!
