[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1085403, member: 329"] RIDER just published their full test on the GS and it was 112 HP on their dyno with a very flat torque curve....and high frequency vibration in the handlebars. A month ago I had the opportunity to trade rides on a 2013 Multi-Stada (which RIDER rated at 139 HP). It was BAD ASS on a long straight and had the vibration through the handlebars and seat to go with it. I was most interested in the Skyhook electronic suspension and would have to say that it was the best electronic suspension I have ridden to date, far better than BMW's ESA. After an hour I was very happy to get my Tenere back because it has a much better riding position and the suspension (Penske shock and linear fork springs) was every bit as good as the Skyhook, the Ducati just cost $8500 more and you can add another $1k when the 15K service is due. The 2013 GS1200 is probably the best GS to date but it is still a [SIZE=18px]B[/SIZE][SIZE=10px]ring[/SIZE] [SIZE=18px]M[/SIZE][SIZE=10px]y[/SIZE] [SIZE=18px]W[/SIZE][SIZE=10px]allet[/SIZE]. [/QUOTE]
