I’m on a 2018 AT at the moment. It’s great for straight-line travel on reasonable surfaces— comfy, powerful. well-balanced, pleasing to the ears—but no fun at all on rutted, steep, slippery gravel. I don’t have the patience for all the electronic options; who even knows what all these traction settings really mean, anyway? Not the folks I rented it from.
In a few days I’ll trade it in for an old 650GS, and probably complain bitterly about that, too. At the moment, I’d prefer my elderly Vstrom at half the price, but l give the AT a few more days to prove itself.
