ride that, Then try the new ten and be amazed.

Also put traction control on level 1 or 2 or what ever is not the rain mode.  I nearly bought one, but the 10 is better, smoother. The BMW cuts the power and flashes a little orange light at you, like it's telling you off!!  (makes fast acceleration a bit on-off ish, like the traction control on the gs, rt, gt or even the GTR1400.

What the mags say is true on this occasion. KTC is better.

also if your going to test the abs by standing on the back brake to see how it works ensure the bike your testing actually has ABS fitted first  [whistle]
