I have the 23 in champion yellow. Very pleased with it. I bought the taller windscreen, but it creates more wind buffeting but an air deflector fixed that. Only drawbacks were lack of cruise and tubed tires. The 21" front tire is fine. Zero issues with handling. I do mild off road but mostly paved. This is my daily rider and hopefully, the last one I'll need. In my mid 50s and hoping this be my last. 😊 Great review, good job.

Ride safe

Thanks HMR! I love the production quality of your videos. I'd love to take one of these out for a ride. Thinking my next bike will be in the middleweight adventure category.

Please test the GSX1000S GX I'm planning to replace my 2015 Super Tenere ES...

[@highmilagerider1154]

I will try to.
It has been a hard motorcycle to get ahold of
