get GS, riding gears also need to follow premium riding gears.

KLIM gloves, pants, that Marrakesh jacket, bmw M-system boots.

Schuberth C5 or E1,zumo xt2 etc etc..
While Africa Twin, I no prob with all Kushitani, Dainese.

I really dont know the cost of maintaining GS and AT in the long run.

Coz I dont think I will use it in short period. Min 5yrs

BMW parts vs Honda parts, I hear BMW parts come faster

this is made for high speed touring.

RM90k new, CBU japan.
232kg wet, but feels really light. lighter than tiger 800.

I really like this bike, seat height is not too tall too for a touring bike.
The sharp edgy transformer look is done right too unlike yamaha mt09 laugh.gif

ya the edgy design looks really cool on the 1000gx.

yeah the footpeg position is a bit weird for me.

they put the footpeg far back for a sportier riding position.
but the handlebar is high and swept back, so you need to open up your arms to crouch forward.

compared to the vstrom 800 series, the footpeg is more forward allowing you to be more natural upright.

the difference in riding position is night and day when compared to my tiger 800.

Yeah, hence why I said the riding position.

Slightly not relax.

So in the long distance run, definitely sore on arms.

And you won’t enjoy as much as upright real touring adv

I have the money but thinking not worth spending 170k for latest gsa.

Too much.

Really eyeing for 2024 production of GS.

If price in 80-90-ish thou, definitely I’ll cash it.
