Disappointing resonance

[Hannu]

Hi,
Just had a test ride on a new G310gs and loved it, sort of.
Lovely seating position, perky enough, handles well, light (ish) looks amazing BUT
67/70mph 7000rpm one heck of a resonance which was mind numbing to me !!!!
This wasn't a vibration but a sound which really gets inside your head, is this normal ?

It's been a while and I had the Rally Raid Scorpion system on my 2018 model but I don't recall that.
I wore a Shoei Hornet helmet with ear plugs.
Having said that, I found the bike was happiest at an indicated 56-66 mph. If you are sitting at more than that regularly (motorway or dual carriageway commuting?) it's maybe not the bike you need.

Tyres?
We all know that different tyres produce varying results.........

Think it had Bridgestone's on standard from new. Spoke to a guy this afternoon who had a 310R who didn't find it a problem, maybe its me , but it was very noticeable at 7000rpm

I have X41`s on mine so noise is a relative thing.
And with only 30 or so horses its more a 60 ish than a 70 ish bike.
On standard gearing it should be good for 85ish if you have no sympathy ,

7000 revs at 70mph?
is that normal?

Can you not just change gear
