2020 KTM 1290 Superduke vs 2019 1250 GS-HP

Remember, if 10% of his predictions come true (quite possible) he will feel 100% correct.
 
I totally disagree in declaring @boxerlust an idiot.

I do not in any way share his dream about 170hp GS, nor share his point of view when it comes to speeding the GS. But the guy is positive and he does not use curs-words, and he does not lower him self to name calling.

If anyone should be declared idiot, I would like to point the finger to the people in here that hijacks any thread and contribute by nothing but negative comments and name-calling. In my book that is as low as you can get in a debate and demonstrates clearly that there is no substance in the arguments. They only contribute to smear the debate with trolling.

Even if some BMW owners have had issues, the vast majority of GS owners have no issues with their bikes. Yes, I read forums and all the bashings that comes along, but I also know lots of people that owns GS, and they enjoy a problem-free ownership. Problems of any kind seem to be the exception rather than the rule...

I haven’t had any issues with any of the 8 Gs’s I’ve owned. But boxerfrogs is still an idiot. ;)

I thought he started this post to slag off a bike. Or to name call KTM "orange skirt wearers".
I'm not sure that's very positive.


You haven't read the accusations he's made towards me either...

"I'm on drugs, I suck dick, etc"


Some of these might be true of course :-)

About the muppet brigade and poster # 246 and his accusations I never made...no cmment.The guy is obviously high and or a fruitcake...;)
Question remains why do people who hate BMW's so much congregate on a GS forum...:confused:
And yes , the 1290SDR is a pile of shit if you plan to go fast...:D
Too much power for it's own good and very unstable at low speed and slow steering/not flickable at higher speeds...I don't know how J.McWilliams who obviously is one of their "ready to race" testriders could sign off on this one...But what I will say...the 1301 ccm V has STEAM between 7-10K rpm...for a twin ! But unfortunately wasted on wheelies if you go W.F.O. in gears 1,2,3,4....
And if the M1300GS gets only 160 hp I will be still happy with it...because even with the GS1250...THere is no other street-bike I rather ride...The best bike in the world for everything but the track where you obviously need more horsepower,more ground-clearance for lean-angle and 17" wheels for track suitable tires...!
The M1300GS as also R1300S could definitely solve these problems...:thumb
 
It would be quite funny if BMW actually did produce a 160bhp M1300GS with 17” front wheel, just as Ducati have switched the Multistrada to a 19” front wheel! :D

Not only deluded, but a liar too...


"Stanly [sic] lay off the LSD...The 1250 are still not Goldwing smooth/boring but mechanically much quieter than the 1200...and if you call the gearbox "agricultural" then you need someone show you how to shift or better get a Barffrica Twin with DCT..."


"Stanley why don't you eat a dick ? People call me out and then get their panties in their zippers like gurlz wearing orange skirts..."



Properly mental!

As someone that’s owned several GS’s and made the move to Ducati, I can say with confidence that if either is shite, it certainly isn’t the Ducati. :comfort ;)

Nope , i have had a few , Multi 1200s nice but a bit shit , 916 ( bloody uncomfortable ) 999 ( nice and usable ) but blew it up , the M900 was great , well until the battery exploded , then i rode the new ones ... nothing changes unless you like to change you choice like a teenager on Asos .. but you are a bit fickle :beerjug::D

But if the GSs were shite why did you buy 8 of them one after the other before realising how shite they were ?

Owning those old nails would be enough to put me off as well. :D
 
Listen up Boxerlust !!
I have today chosen my steed for our run down to Baja.A test ride sealed it.
You’ll need those 17” wheels and 170bhp to stand any chance.
Picking it up tomorrow.
Italian exotica at its finest.

Boxerlust——Boxerlost.

Ha, ha, I commented yesterday that my Grom would be fantastic in Guernsey.

Your new bike looks fantastic and will be great fun.
