Had the chance to demo a new watercooled GS this weekend. Rode it about 25 miles mainly on the BRP. Not thinking of buying one or making a direct comparasion to the Tenere do to cost difference. It does have more power and is smoother than the Yamaha. Cruise control, electronic suspension, 5 engine maps etc. I think best way to sum it up is that the GS seems more refined than the Tenere. I was a lot more impressed with it on first ride than I was on first ride on Tenere.
