Now that I’ve seen more pics of the GW, I would really like to have one. It seems a little downsized (not just in weight but in width as well)- the non tour GW looks like an ST series bike. I would love one in the Pearl Brown color, and as the standard 6 speed manual bike (DCT might be great, but I’d rather shift it myself). I do have one issue with it as I do with most recent cars. Riding takes a lot of attention and concentration on other traffic and road conditions. As really amazing as that 7” display is with BT audio and phone connectivity, Apple Car Play, and navigation, I feel it could become a significant distraction when riding, and even though it doesn’t have the ‘overbuttonitis’ of the previous GW, I do get concerned about distraction when riding. I ride with music on delivered via Plugfones BT audio and I have an audio controller on my handlebar with my iphone hidden in the right locked pocket, but I would wonder how important it is to make calls, look at audio track information and enter GPS info when riding (none of it is) and as in cars, it can make for a less safe ride (again, secondary to distraction). Other than what I wrote above, I love it. I’d love to buy one but if I do, I likely would wait a few years so any bugs that need correction occur in the first few years of production.
