PA is my next adventure bike for sure. Waiting for the 2023 just to give it another year of run. Sold my KTM 790 Adventure and will sell the KTM 1190 I still have to get the PA. The adaptive ride height is a game changer for me at 5'8: My 790 was to small and light for long tarmac rides and my 1190 is way too tall for me at stops. The PA (which I demo'd) will be the best of both worlds for me.
I also test rode the new:
- KTM 1290 - Still too tall
- BMW GS - Too bulky and tall
- Multistrada V4S - Runner up as that is a beautiful machine

The Police rider was a way better rider than me though, and the Multi does make an awesome howl when it comes past you at high revs. He was very impressed with the PAS.

The Multi is really too tall for me though.
