Yeh,tend not to be too subtle these days..must be an age thing.
As everyone knows the Adventure bike market seems to be going from strength to strength,with most manufactures planning or bringing something out that will try and prise people away from their GS's.
Iv'e come from a 950 and 990 SM's in the last 5 years to putting a very large amount of money (compared to what i paid new for the KTM's)down on a 61 plate GSA.
Nearly stuck with KTM and bought a 990 Adventure Dakar 30th Edition,tested it and tested the GSA..the KTM is more fun to ride fast, but the GS overall won..just had to have one.
So we'll see what Triumph et al, can come up with,and I'll find out if this big German panzer with its ABS/ESA/ESC and Can-Bus system is reliable as the KTM have been.
