And they liked to crack the shock mount IIRC. That's a lot of kilos for a motorcycle, and whilst the GS motors are super strong, I'd be wary.

sawystertrance Posted January 23, 2019 Share Quick question for discussion: Do you think that riding a mountain bike (for those of you that do) helps on a dual sport motorbike when off-road? In particular with factors such as reflexes, balance, body posture. Or do you think it is in fact a disadvantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allrounder Posted January 23, 2019 Share as long as your MTB front brake is on the right, I do think it counts as an advantage. It trains you to feel the movement and to counter act. Lexx and bertusras 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
