Excellent review. I had an 06' GT, that after over a month in the shop, BMW couldn't fix a fueling issue. I now have an 07'. It's running a lot better. There really is no competition to this bike, maybe the new Kawi?
A couple of points:
- The stock seat SUCKS! It's by far the worst seat on any bike I've owned. I'm not sure how you found it to be perfect??? I can do 8 hr days on my 07 Tuono(stock seat), but 20 minutes in the GT seat has me fidgeting. You won't find anyone on a beemer board that likes the stock seat.
- The 07' brakes are a LOT better. They dumped the servos. A lot more transparent ABS system. Better feel and more linear.
