[@LookattheBiggerPic]

Very much appreciate a more authentic review like this mixed with good riding footage - very nice!

Bloody great review mate! thinking about the scoot,but rideing HD for 20 years is no easy change.

Thanks! Once you make the change you will be happy. Jeff.

finally a review with info i needed! the throttle response bit was the crucial part for me. thank you for saving my money :)

[@BikeReviewcomau]

Hi mate, throttle response is good in all the other modes and settings, it's just a bit too steppy and abrupt for my liking in Sport mode but it os OK if you are riding hard, with a lot of throttle input. Touring mode is nice. It's hard to get a bike these days with a smooth initial throttle as Euro4 and current EFI plus Ride By Wire (still developing) means a smooth throttle is rare these days. I'd still ride the bike if I were you, it's got plenty of strong points as well. Cheers.

thanks for reply, i currently have KTM 990 SMT and the only thing i don't like about the bike is unpredictable throttle response, jerkiness when opening the throttle etc...i know no bike has it perfect (besides older bikes with carbs), but throttle response is more important to me than horsepower and other chart-bombing measurements :) how would you compare the throttle response to GS or KTM 1290 ?

[@BikeReviewcomau]

Hi mate, I am yet to ride the latest GS but compared to the KTM, I say the jerkiness is about the same. Cheers.

Great review

Thank you for the video man!!! I have a question: how does the multi enduro compare to the BMW GSA ? I can’t decide between the two.

[@BikeReviewcomau]

Hi there - I have the same question! Hoping to get the BMW soon for review and I will get the review up ASAP. Thanks.

Ok, Great. Thank you. Have you posted the video ?

[@BikeReviewcomau]

Haven't ridden the bike yet, hopefully soon. Jeff.

The difference is in the engine. The Duc has more top end speed - the BM is more mildly mannered. The BM is quicker to steer. Both can do everything. But it's really down to taste. I have ridden both the BM 1200 and the Duc - but prefer the latter - which is why I bought one.

It didn’t help me at all, but I enjoyed the presentation 😬👍🏻
