• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	Strong 1300cc boxer engine (145 hp, 149 Nm) with great torque delivery Outstanding ride comfort and suspension (EVO ESA) for long-distance touring Highly capable on-road and off-road, true ADV versatility Packed with advanced electronics and rider aids (ride modes, traction control, TFT) More compact and manageable than before, easier to handle than older GS	Powerful 1,301cc V Twin engine with 190 PS of power Comes with a host of features (TFT screen, telematics, TPMS, Cornering TCS, ABS, and more) Ready to race character with premium components such as Brembo Stylema brakes, WP Apex shocks, and more Semi-Active electrically adjustable WP Apex suspension setup Premium chassis made of Chromium-Molybdenum-Steel trellis frame It comes with a Quickshifter+ which allows clutchless gearshifts
  Cons	Weight still noticeable, especially at slow speeds Expensive ownership and maintenance Fuel tank slightly smaller than before, reducing range a bit Complex electronics can feel overwhelming Overkill for casual riders or city-only use	High price point Not good for beginner riders, the big engine and high performance might become challenging for new riders The 834mm seat height is not suitable for short riders Heavy windblast at high speeds (no windscreen or fairing to protect the rider from windblast) High maintenance cost
