Accessories, Farkels and Mods / Re: Garmin or Tom Tom?
October 26, 2019, 12:34:45 AM
I use TomTom everyday to time manage my business routes.  The front end interface is intuitive and the units reliable.  I was looking forward to the Garmin badged as BMW for the K16. What a disappointment.  For everyday all day operations it uses to many multi key entry's  to retrieve and or use the information needed.   Not impressed by its inability when sat in the Pyrenees to find Pamplona in any continent other than North America !!!
So for the KTM it's TomTom and I'm back in my comfort zone.

Like PC or Apple having totally different front end interfaces to achive in essence the same results  :popcorn:

Still everyone to their own  :punk:

The Dark Side / Re: GTR to H2 SX

I've bought the 2019 Super Duke GT, after trying various options, the H2 SX being one of them. The H2 SX really is a good bike but more sporting than touring and the low down fuelling is an issue as to keep things smooth you need the bike to be on boost and keep the revs up. The wife was not too keen as she suffered badly from wind blast as I was leant much further forward due to the riding position. After various test rides the SD GT won the day. We picked the bike up a week before our 2 week euro tour and we both found the bike comfortable to run a full tank of fuel (240 miles cruising) before stopping for a break. Riding it solo it can be ridden as quick as any sport bike so the bike suits my needs.

:agree:

Try a KTM SD GT
More torque than H2
More bhp than GTR
Only just over 200kgs wet
Sensible riding position
Pulls from nothing
Got all the bells and whistles
What's not to like ?

OK the looks can be challenging to some but once ridden 👌😎
