Eventually bought a 2017 Rallye June 2017, liked the bike so much I put up with the road noise emanating from the cockpit area, it came with Michelin Anakee 3’s, now I’m a big fan of Michelin, from early adverts the Michelin Mx or even the X tyre, it was advertised as going round the world twice, (when I was young I didn’t know how far that was but it sounded good)..
Anyway, back to the GsWc & the GSA Wc, I live quite local the Marshals Bmw, (at the time it was Astle’s) tried the then new camo model loan bike, so I hopped off my early GsWc went for a ride, 20 minutes was enough for me, couldn’t understand how shit it was, the road noise was unbearable, which I put down to the new GSA beak style at the time.
Well today I replaced my nearly worn out Anakee 3’s with Continental Trial Attack 2’s, WOW, what a difference, NO road noise, transformed the bike, here’s a lesson to dealers, don’t spend time arguing with customers over road noise on demo bikes, spend the £210 to change the tyres, you’ll sell more bikes..

as if this has not been said a million times, it really is not difficult, you do not like tyres then change them, it is the only thing between you and the road, I have A3,s not the best I admit a tad slippy, but maybe that is just my riding skills are not the best, who knows.
