There is also a first-ride report (a few pages, but mainly big pictures) in BIKE magazine this month... they say much the same thing: that it's a quality piece of kit, but [particularly for the price] it doesn't move things on significantly from the 1200GS (other than it has Traction Control and ABS as standard)... unlike the Ducati Multistrada which they say/think is a genuine technical advancement...

Yeah, of course it is - but then the Multistrada is a road bike!!!
