Not a serious review, but the comparison between the 1983 and 2020 same model is interesting... |

No need for words: Doing good at the track (Red Bull Ring in Spielberg)... |

Zitat von jdr im Beitrag #169 Brilliant!!! That KTM rider got a little spooked for a second when the rear stepped out. What traction control setting were you on? It was really giving it a workout in 3rd gear. And what tires were you running? |

Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #170I leave my RS in ROAD mode, and get the most of my S22's. But I don't know what setup the rider in that video is using. In my posting, I was using the rider's imaginary inner voice. Also, my dog does not bite. |

Fantastic, good to see the RS in full touring mode (including Sat Nav) holding its own on a track! I was interested to see just how much time you made up on the brakes and how the TC was in action a fair bit as well. Great watching. |

Zitat von jdr im Beitrag #169 I was impressed with your speed until I realized it was KPH.

Interesting description - "Naked upright touring rig". Silly me, I thought that was the R, not the RS. |

Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #177 Well, did you notice the reviewer's hair cut at the beginning of the video? Anyone who cuts their hair like that might be a little confused regarding exactly which type of motorcycle he was riding.  This video should give you an idea of what the Southern California motorcycle press is like and perhaps why Motorcyclist magazine and Cycle World magazines are just barely financially hanging on. (I received my quarterly Cycle World issue the other day. Very heavy paper, nice photos, little content and a very high newsstand issue price. The odd thing is that I haven't paid for a subscription in years and I still get the magazine. ) Current motorcycle collection: 2002 Yamaha FZ1; 2020 KTM 390 Duke; 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500; 2009 BMW F650GS; 2016 BMW R1200RS; 2018 Zero S 16.6 kWh |

Zitat von Chris216 im Beitrag #179 Yeh, the hair had me cracking up for a bit. It was hard for me to believe that was a paid journalist reviewing it. There have been much more factual and informative videos from "regular" riders. The only two reasons I stuck with Cycle World so long are as follows: Peter Egan - Kevin Cameron. |
