Drove it today,
i must say this motorcycle feels like a bicycle, in both good and bad ways.
The good thing is it feels VERY light. It's not really light compared to other ADV-Bikes that are mentioned here but damn it feels SO light compared to the Versys 650 and the Honda CBF600f (the other 2 bikes i drove already).
But also it feels like it doesn't have power at all... well to be fair, i probably rode it wrong, the owner asked me to be very gentle because the bike is in very good shape and they usually don't drive it full power when still cold. The first owner and he himself never did that (he said). So i did only drive it around 3000rounds, and not faster then 50km/h because it wasn't possible (after work traffic etc.).
But nonetheless my first impression of the F650 GS is very positive. My feed touch the ground at the same time (first time i had this with a "travel" bike) and it feels light and driving is pretty smooth (especially for a single).
Tomorrow i have to opportunity to drive a Transalp and on the Weekend i will try to get a Africa Twin (old one) to compare, those 3 bikes are what I ended up with on my list of 17 bikes. :/
