I tried to like it but could not. I understand why people buy them. Same reason divorced women by a 3 series BMW to "make a statement". After riding with over 100 BMW riders in the GS safari - then, I realised that most BMW gs riders are only a hair off being Harley rider - they like to cruise along slowly in other peoples dust, with no adventure camping gear, stopping often at hotels to mention the BMW brand name to strangers. They want to be a part of a legend they imagine exists around this long way round bike. Consumers, not racers. The world need average people and the GS is built to make them feel distinguished. BMW ad agency pulls them in like fish on a line.
The 1190R KTM wont speak to you unless you have an offroad background and you like to win enduro or motocross or track - it wont appeal unless it really bothers you that somebody is infront of you on the track, its a totally different bike which came from racing and motocross - BMW GS appeals to the charlie boreman in every office-trapped person. charlie's so clumsy he give dull people hope. KTM 1190 is the real deal. a different bike.
The KTM 1190 is for a minority of racers and I am hoping that most consumers wont get one - hell yeah. I recommend lots of people buy GS. Last thing I want is anybody to realise how good the 1190 really is, and it become common place "standard issue" like GS.
Glad nobody followed me on my test rides.
