Checked it out today in Daytona and of course this is MY opinion only but this bike looks like a Kia next to a Cadillac compared to a BMW GS. It looks so cheap and unfinished to my eyes. I was pretty disappointed in the fit and finish of this bike, especially for the price of 21K, it really did seem like a cheap made bike. But hey, you know what they say about opinions, maybe it will turn out to be an ok bike but in my opinion nothing about what I saw today threatens the GS in any category.
