Could the 1600 mile ride been better if you added a windscreen? I like big miles, but beating against my body on a fast steed like this for 1600 miles concerns me. Fun video! And now subscribed from CT.
@SamVBikesКүн бұрын
It wasn't too bad to be honest. It would have been better to add a windscreen but the bike was a press bike from KTM so I didn't have time to buy one for it

@SamVBikes the more I see bike trips over there, I notice that it hasn't changed much since I was young, compared to the UK! If I could see my time over, I would emigrate but hindsight is a wonderful thing! It is just so much better than here for biking!
@SamVBikesКүн бұрын
I've got a few more episodes coming on this trip so you should get a good taste of it. It's definitely better for biking in general. More acceptance for bikers too which is a nice change

@SamVBikes I look forward to watching them. I remember even the police bikers waved to us as we went around Europe and we were made welcome everywhere, even invited to people's homes for breakfast and dinner! It just wouldn't happen here.

Agree mate. It's got everything on it and it's an amazing bit of kit.. but pricing it at GS, SAS etc level is a bit keen in my opinion
@user-e6strzInp1n3 күн бұрын
Where is they lost front pocket, wich was most useful pocket on my previous generation City Pro. And two sections pocket on the lid? And four side internal sections (only two still there)? It mostly seems like downgrade. No moew even rings to attach shoulder strap. The only larger side pockets and magnetic mount are reasonable level up.

As an ex owner of a 2021 GT, I was very exiting about seeing the new one in the flesh. It was a bit of a shock when looking at it head on. Like you say, a bit like it's hit a wall and 'splatted' out. However, the old one had a face only a mother could love too. From every other angle, it looks awesome. The SAS looked very much like my 2023 one with new fairings, dash and headlight. Not enough of an update I feel to change. I hope my KTM dealer doesn't have a new GT in to test ride when I take my SAS in for it's service in April or this could get very expensive 🤣
@SamVBikes7 күн бұрын
Haha yeah you're right! It does seem to tick every box. Got a lot of appreciation for the looks of it but it will take a while to get used to like most of these new bikes. It could definitely be a new addition to the garage

Remember that the auto option has been available on a production Honda since 2009! Even the very first iteration of Honda’s DCT had full manual mode, as has every implementation of it since. Yes you can run them in an auto mode and intervene - but full manual is where it’s at on these. Lightning shifts, faster and seamless

It looks a little more spacious than the SDR with a really nice amount of padding. I'm far from a tall guy but I know many taller people chose the SDR over the Tuono etc because it gave them the space for their legs so hopefully you'll be in luck

Today was the closest I've been to going for the new SAS Evo. That phone port being big enough, lower foot pegs etc just made for such a nice change.
