> 200 HP ADV with less torque than the current V twin MTS
makes zero sense to me, but they will fly off the shelves no doubt
Let's be honest. Of all the "ADV-styled" bikes out there, the MTS is the least likely to ever leave the pavement. Those seeking out tractor-like torque at low-revs are not the target demographic.
It's basically just a really comfortable sportbike. Similar to the S1000XR.
