Here is a side-by-side comparison of the current GS with the new GS, which includes dyno, acceleration and top speed testing, as well as a look at the shift cam mechanism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WgugJQmRJA Current motorcycle collection: 2002 Yamaha FZ1; 2005 Triumph Bonneville T-100; 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500; 2009 BMW F650GS; 2016 BMW R1200RS; 2011 Zero S 16.6 kWh |

I found it interesting that near the end of the video review it was mentioned that BMW had switched brake component manufacturers from Brembo to U.S.-made Hayes calipers. One reason that I found that interesting is that my 2012 Zero electric motorcycle used Hayes brakes, which I though worked only so-so. The following year they switched to Nissan brakes, before settling on J.J. Juan components, starting on their 2015 models - which I can't say that I am very impressed about, either.

Zitat von Endorphin im Beitrag #3 When we first bought our bikes I felt the first pull on the lever felt too soft. When I get serious with the brakes they feel strong it's just that first bite that feel odd. Turns out all the Wethead bikes have that same feel. Do your brakes feel soft when braking hard or just the initial pressure?
