Interesting technique, but what does he do at a stop light, with or without a fully loaded bike?
Bottom line: one should only ride a bike that "feels" safe and comfortable, and for me, that ain't a GS. I wish it were.
........... I bought my GS to run 2 lane, asphalt twisties. Dual Sport? Hell NO! One sport. Why, because it handles great, don't believe me??? Try and chase one. ..........
Absolutely, take a rider off even a R11/12S or any of the K's and on a tight twisty road he will be as fast as ke was on those. Let him get a few miles and get comfortable and he will be faster. They are SO easy to hustle through the tight corners, they immediately raise your confidence, and you ride faster.
My local Yamaha dealer, as well as the rest of the US dealers, all received this letter yesterday. I'm a loyal BMW GS Owner/Rider, but the Super Tenere certainly isn't going away!
I can flatfoot a GSA easily, but then my inseam is 36." I'm 6'4."
I sometimes envy short riders because their rides are always roomy. There are a lot of short long-distance riders.
I have a major problem finding a bike that gives me sufficient legroom. My '03 RT with seat jacked up is okay. Some sort of GS may be my next bike.
