This is even more "underwhelmed" response that I thought I would see here.
Does anyone think this engine might be conservatively tuned to start with... and that more is possible from it?
I too would much rather see an R1200S.
With all the tech this has, semi-active suspension, and all that... couldn't they set the two modes to sport and touring... and have a very nice R1200S that in sport mode would nearly approach the HP2-S on the road (not likely on the track), and in touring mode, possibly negate the need for a separate sport touring successor to the R1150RS or R1200ST...
I don't get the point of a big, heavy, hulking R1200GS other than image and tradition at this point. the F700GS makes more sense in an actual dual-sport on road and off road role.
