This somewhat can be considered a new definition of "sport tourers". A general similarity of such bikes like Multistrada 1200/1260S, BMW XR, KTM 890 SMT,... and this GX is they provide better comfort while you can ride fast. Also I agree with you, from listening to this video, the quickshifter is a little bit on the slower side that it sounds somewhat slower than a smooth clutchless upshift. And the electro-aids problem you mentioned is the first time ever I have heard from a Japanese bike.

Hello, I can give you an overview because I have done 76,000 km on the Versys se 2020. The Versys is incredibly agile, but at low speeds the GX is better. The Versys is very stable in curves, even at high speed; it has a better brake. For a long trip as a duo, I would definitely keep the Versys. Torque is also better between 3000 and 5000. Then, after 1000 km on the Gx, I can say that it performs better. From 5500 revolutions, there is no photo. Much less inertia too. The pins sometimes remain a little...heavy (190/50 vs 180/55). The chassis is incredible with a more forward position. The rear brake is better, the front lacks bite (pads need to be changed). I have wonderful memories of the Versys. I would say the Versys: 14/20 and the Gx 16/20. Greetings

Regarding the high frequency vibration does it start at specific rpm or it increases as the rpm increases. I have knee injury so at cruising vibration for long time is a problem for me.

I ride similar to you Schaaf (Italy, Alps), I own a Versys. Unfortunately those bikes don't have a proper rider position to really "inspire" you to go fast. I saw myself in this video: yes you can go fast...but you're not screaming inside. You'd scream with a 1000RR even if the power would be the same, the body position would do all the rest. I'd sell my versys any day, but can't as I always travel as a couple, so I'm stuck in this "comfortably boring" situation. Always ridden Ninjas before, NO COMPARISON

The main issue I have with this bike, is that I can´t get my legs on it. Maybe it was a seat height thing wich I was not aware of, but at 190cm my calves touch my hamstrings and I can´t move anymore. Tried it only in the showroom, so I can´t comment on the way it handles.

The Versys has a little more torque between 3000 and 5000 rpm. Afterwards it's the festival on the Suzuki. I fitted a 47 sprocket because the ratios are a little long for my taste. (I also did it on the Versys). The fun is truly incredible on the GX. For traveling as a couple, the Versys will really be preferable.
