At no point was he able to catch the GS rider in front. Thought these were the GS slayers ?
Was at my local BMW dealers on Saturday, got chatting to a guy with a KTM 1290GT, completely unprompted he said he couldn’t wait to sell it, only done about 1800 miles but he couldn’t get on with it because the suspension was so bad, unsettled and wallowed when pushed even moderately hard on the road. KTM clearly can’t design electronic suspension as well as BMW.
Never been or felt the need to.

If the suspension is unsettled and wallows then a diet might help. KTM don’t usually target fat fuckers when they design a bike because BMW have cornered the market for them with the GS.

That’s funny, as I was at my local KTM dealer on Saturday; a bloke turned up on a 1250GS, and he was there trading it in as he said it was as boring as fuck & wheezy compared to the 1290

Nutty + Engineer = white is black, er no black is white, er no............................
The bloke hasn’t owned, let alone even ridden a KTM, so is just full of hot air. Engineer’s opinion counts for nothing in this section.
