Pros	Strong 1300cc boxer engine (145 hp, 149 Nm) with great torque delivery Outstanding ride comfort and suspension (EVO ESA) for long-distance touring Highly capable on-road and off-road, true ADV versatility Packed with advanced electronics and rider aids (ride modes, traction control, TFT) More compact and manageable than before, easier to handle than older GS	Powerful 1,301cc engine with 190 PS of power A high-tech 7-inch TFT instrument cluster with a plethora of information and tun-by-turn navigation support A full suite of safety features with Cornering TCS, Switchable ABS, Cornering ABS, TPMS & more Optional Rally Pack and Tech Pack with more features Adaptive Cruise Control with 5 stage distance setting 4 Different ride modes Rain, Street, Offroad, and Rally WP Semi-Active suspension with 3-stage damping mode Adjustable rider seat and windshield 23-litre fuel tank for long riding
Cons	Weight still noticeable, especially at slow speeds Expensive ownership and maintenance Fuel tank slightly smaller than before, reducing range a bit Complex electronics can feel overwhelming Overkill for casual riders or city-only use	The pricing is exceptionally high This is more of a road-friendly bike and comes with road-bias tyres Heavy weight can make it difficult to manage at low speed The maintenance of premium components will result in high maintenance cost
