I had a Harley 1200 sporty while in the Army stationed in Germany. Put 9000 miles on it in Bavaria, Austria, Switzerland, Southeastern France, and Northern Italy. Some of the best roads in the world. Perfectly smooth pavement, banked curves, cool towns and awesome scenery. Highly recommended.

Strange, I have ridden the BMW GS and GSA LC but I like the handling and the engine of the Yamaha Super Tenere more. It vibrates less, due to the double counterweight shaft, and windprotection is better cause Yamaha designs it's motorcycles in a windtunnel. It has less power yhea, but overall, I think the Yamaha doesnt get the credit it deserves. Can't say anything for the other bikes other than that I dont like chain bikes.

The Stelvio is overrated, unless you do it very early in the morning it's way too busy with cyclists, motorhomes, busses and other bikes and you end up crawling along in 1st gear. Hairpins are not much fun on a bike anyway, there are so many better roads for bikes in the alps.
