They are good quality and have been running them for the last 5 years clocked about 60,000 miles in them on the 1190 Adventure. Picked up a 2020 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT and even with my stubby legs I feel so much better on this bike in the parking lot action or coming to a stop on an off camber. And these boots help. I recommend highly. Yup on my 1290 Super Duke it dyno'd 149 stock, 158 with a full akra and flash, and 170@102ft/lbs with a MH + 80mm stacks (gen one 1290 SD-R had 100mm stock) Same dyno at 1000ft MSL for reference.

It's too heavy (BMW lie about the weight, they claim similar to GT, but it's a good 20KG heavier and carries that weight much higher up, GT feels like a tiny baby in comparison).
