Most bikes these days are targeted for the 180-230 range so that's normal.. the ST, Stelvio, GS Adv are just not the norm as the added range doesn't mean much to most of the riders out there..
Couldn't agree more. Tha GW currently states 35 mpg and get about 40 on the road. This one states 42mpg, so I would conservatively say 45mpg or better. Comfortably 200 mile range. The 4 valves and redesign accomplished this. This bike also claims 125hp @ 5500rpm and 125 fpt @ 4500rpm. The Tour may not be, but the base GW will give the ST a run for its money. My .02
I will test ride both, it is an ST on steroids and with the electronic assists it could be a better handler.
