150hp GS in 2019?

[Deleted account 191119001]

Well, with all of this extra power, it's a bloody good job the average rider age is getting younger, the roads are less crowded and are in ever improving condition

Have you not seen no more diesel cars, we are free to roam the roads again

Second thoughts, it might be useful for the electrical grand prix at the lights.. awesome steed vs Nissan Leaf.

I wonder what HP KTM will be knocking out in 2019?

I couldn't believe when the BMW bloke told me that shit. Owners don't want more power. Fuuuck ooooffff. How far up yer arse is yer head? But then having a 150 bhp GS competes with the XR

Not quite

The mothership will need to do something for the big GS, otherwise they will see sales/margins leach away to the new 850 as well as KTMs many offerings.

Maybe the time has come when boxer twin needs a total re-think. Cog low, but dynamics challenging, width & duplication of components - the 850 configuration makes far more sense. It's a bit like the Porsche 911 issue & their need to accomodate hybrid. Just saying.

If you hear them coming behind you, ask me how I know..............

Researcher - "So Mr. GS Rider, having spent £15k plus on your new GS, do you wish it was as powerful as the new KTM?'................

That was funny...hidden talent for standup?

 

[tanneman]

The question should be: 'Will the power increase also increase the already increasing market share of the awesome GS?'

Absolutely - horsepower figures impress prospective buyers, who 'must have' it - to get over Shap.

So how is vvt going to make the tractor handle better? It isn't as good handling now so your statement is a bit confusing.

Not confusing , I was saying that the GS handles better than the KTM and even with extra power it will be a great bike to ride , unlike the ktm which seems see saw ish. Simples

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 ..
