150hp GS in 2019?

The GS being that crap must explain why KTM are going from strength to strength with a huge, well-supported dealer network, worldwide. :rob

Oh - hang on........... :blast

Well , the bm does it for me , the ktm 1290 was not as good . I would invite you to come for a ride with me and I will show you why .....i can do a front tyre on a tour in 1500 miles the rear around 2500.
So i would suggest you miles per gallon and miles per tyre folks do one ... rant over ..... come catch me ..........oh i had a Multi with 148 at the rear ,, the bm was still a better bike as it just handles better ..its the way it delivers all the time ..
not as one said it came past me , what , try harder my man ffs
I have chased and kept up with the super ktm , eventually the bugger gave up as he was fucked .. me happy on my slow tractor went by and onward ....

I don't know what you are trying to say. For comparison where you riding the bikes back to back? You cannot compare the ability of a rider to the ability of a bike. Anyway, I'm faster riding the KTM 1290 from A to B than using the GSA. It is just that much better in the engine, gearbox and suspension department where the GSA lacks the grunt and composure. That is my own findings and I don't expect it would be the same for everyone who rides the KTM and then compare it to their current steed.

For what it is worth the new head design might just be a 5 - 10 hp increase as it has been in the past with successive GS models only to extract better economy from the whole package. This thread is only speculation but I'm most certainly not convinced that bragging about tyre life is any indication of how awesome your bike is. It can also be that you ride like a twat all the time and that other sensible riders recognise it and wish not to be involved with some idiot tailing them for miles. I know I wouldn't be comfortable with some idiot trying to get a race out of me on a public road, try that shit on a race track to compare apples with apples.

:Catrun:moped::jes:chickendance Keep your y fronts on dear I shall whip my self to stop my silly talk Ps . I'm not a twat but ....oh to add yes , ridden back to back and the tailing was due to the KTM pushing me , then i allowed him to pass then watched him squirm xx A race track allows the lap by lap accuracy , not the real ability to process and deal with the road as it unfolds and ride to the limits as the road dictates.
