Hi all. I just thought I would share with you a great blast I had this morning in the GS.
After a test stint on the new KTM1290 Super Adventure last week. That bike just wants you to be a hooligan. That engine wants you to give it a handful of abuse and when you do you are justly rewarded.
So I went for a blast this morning on the trusty GSA. The KTM did nothing to take away my love for the Big "G".
In Dynamic mode I normally treat her well and she gives me a soothing and rewarding ride every time. But today I decided I would give her some grief just cos I could.
Oh my word. I am still grinning.
Easily cutting through traffic which quickly disappeared in my wake and the boxer howling like a banshee as the red line loomed large.
Fearing for my licence I duly backed off (a bit) but let the bike run through the bends and not dabbing the brakes as I usually do. New for me testing the levels of grip and seemingly nearing knee down territory.
I think the KTM just wants you to be a hooligan. The GS can be a hooligan if you ask, and believe me I not only asked I insisted.
The KTM is a great bike and has now given me a new appreciation of the GS and a new found level of hooliganism I never thought I nor the GS were capable of.
I am still very happy with my GS no plans to change. Big grins all round.
She may come second the the KTM but she wont be far behind.

had a session with a race instructor this weekend and know exactly what you mean. It's only when you push it you realise how much more there is in the locker
