I wonder how it feels to ride with that 3rd mid shock absorber, looks like a pretty cool innovation.

As soon as we get our hands on an R 1300 GS test bike, we’ll be putting some serious miles on it. Electric windscreen with side deflectors works well – that’s included with the optional Comfort Package.

Screen looks small for mega mile rides. Oh why put the indicators on the hand guards.

Every test ride says how nice the breaks and suspension are, however nobody is mentioning that only comes with the Premium package!! What I want to know is how this bike will ride without the premium suspension, premium brake and without Enduro pro and all the other fancy upgrade riding modes!!

Yes indeed. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. It has been remedied.

It should read “EVO Telelever front suspension”

Robert, you are correct. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. It has been remedied.

The old one is .8 inch.
