Exactly the same bike is mine... now 2000Km. I do love the DCT, EERA and the foot shifter too...makes riding so much more fun and the feeling is very similar to classic shifter ones... mostly people do complain about DCT but never had driven one. The only boring thing is the road you will choose. Everything else will make you smile on this bike. Slovenia, Italy, Austria are the right places for this bike. Everything south of Munich will be fine - believe me... congrats and enjoy some holidays more south with it!!!

I owned a CRF1100 ATAS DCT and my experience was that the speedometer was exaggerating a lot, more than other brands, 150km/u on the speedo was 135km/u in real on the navigation, about 10% speed less and that why it's looks fast but it isn't actually that fast. Seat was the worst of the 30 bikes I owned but the suspension was the best of the bikes I owned. I now have a '24 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro and it's a hoot on the speedbumps like the Africa Twin.

A BMW S1000XR makes 160hp and 114 Nm of torque, so the AT making 112 Nm with "just" 105hp tells you how the bike can feel much more powerful than it actually is (in line 4 vs parallel twin differences beside).

Apperently I am not the typical GS rider. 1300 that is. 34 years, I like to push the bike where it makes sense. Today I went over 4 mountain passes in the alps, from Italy to Germany and at one point both tyres started sliding a bit. A little faster right turn, but a decent camber to the left. And if you really open the throttle and let her rev up, she pulls hard. At the same time, when there is no twisty road, the bike is perfect to relax and prepare for the next twisty section. And there is a good chance that at one point I will get the Jekyll and Hyde exhaust. That thing sounds nasty. I actually think the new GS design and the way it rides is catching younger guys. As an excample, today I have seen two younger guys in full race leather on 1300s. But I might be wrong with my assumption.

Not top heavy at all in my opinion. Don't really know the final weight , must be on the Honda online configurator. It feels less agile as the 19inch front wheel. But I like that it's not so quick in reacting when you turn the handlebar 😁

why do you prefer the 21" to the 19" ? do you feel the 21" bike lighter than the adventure? I want to buy an AT and don't want to use it on dirt but for everyday use and don't know which one to choose , the 19" (which is more expensive and heavier) or the 21" with es :)

19inch also has much bigger gastank. The 19inch front wheel just handles faster so it throws itself easier into a corner. The smaller the front wheel the quicker it turns when you touch the handlebar. I like it to be a little more forgiving when I touch the handlebars that's all :-)

I have the previous AT and definitely notice the lack of power compared to my RC8R which has a tested 156hp at the rear wheel. But then the Honda weighs a LOT more and is less aerodynamic than the KTM. The difference is mainly felt on the motorway, where the 1195cc LC8 motor can go uphill on a steady throttle at low revs, whereas the Honda must be kept in the upper midrange to stay at a constant speed.
