I have to wonder how they're handling balance/counter balance in that engine.


If bmw and triumph can do it well, I am sure Yamaha can too.

I did the math on that thing.  It's 100 lbs. heavier than the Ducati of the same ilk.

Weight! ...... It matters.

Oh yea, HP matters too.

Ugly. I'd personally take the Guzzi Stelvio over it. The Stelvio isn't any lighter but looks better IMO, and I suspect I'd like the engine better. Good competition for the 1200GS though...although we probably won't see it in the US.

I don't think it is direct competition for the MTS1200. The MTS is more street oriented...like the Tiger 1050.

The tubeless spoke wheels are nothing new...both the GS and Stelvio run them (although they're an option on the new GSs).
