The XR does not have telelever, ffs it has conventional forks.
Think you found my post confusing.

If you say so
Is that your bike in your avatar?
Yes and it looks 10 times better than the one in yours. Ok, it may not be as fast (sometimes) but it certainly looks nicer.
In your opinion
Yes it is and I reckon if you are being honest with yourself, you agree.
I really don’t. Pictures don’t do bikes justice, but in the flesh, the 1290 looks loads better than the GS. All that aside, it rides better as well. You seem to be concerned about looks too much.
You have the S right? Did you ever try the T model? I tried to like it but just couldn't Rock hard seat and just didn't feel good to me.
I like the look of the new S model though
Probably a crime, but I prefer the black model - takes the eye of the large area of plastic panels.
I spent 12000 on a GSA LC in one year and 15000 on an XR the next The differencStick with the XR...it is not just a fast GS, it is a totally different feel but those who hav commented so far probably haven’t spent much time on the XR.
I had a GS LC for 3 years and enjoyed 24k commuting and touring but reluctantly switched to the XR when I needed more poke to stay with my mates on sports bikes. It took a while to get used to the buzzy engine and vibration and whilst it isn’t quite as comfy as the GS it is an awesome machine that does more than you can 8magine, including off-road.
My advice is stick with, put it in dynamic to reduce the vibration and learn to love it as I have ��

Nutty put the wine down , the KTM is not a good looking bike …. its like a well used Whore , battered , sloppy and butt ugly.
Now the BM is like a wall flower with blades ….. I had one today …. he was quick but messy .. reeled him in .. fuc him off ,, he was quick but the roads were not good for top end..the Bm is a better bike in the right place , big long straights , fair play but put a section together and the the KTM unfolds like a badly constructed IKEA shelf unit .
