• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	Powerful & torque-rich engine Overall hardware is abuse-friendly Feature-rich & loaded with tech up to the brim Less expensive to maintain as compared to some rivals	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
  Cons	Quite expensive for what it offers Ergonomics not well suited for short riders Engine lacks a top-end punch as the rivals	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
