There are a few parts suitable for touring and an ABS on the KTM, but the fun is in every cell. You can't describe it like the shape of a headlight mask or the technical structure of an ABS system. It will probably remain a mystery forever how KTM builds such motorbikes and we will never find out why they are so much fun.

Powerful engine

ABS

improved seat

optimal chassis

positive riding experience.

Small windscreen.

Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

Optimal wind protection

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.
