Both are great motorcycles. I had each available to test on different days for a few hours. The GS seems more comfortable for my height and feels easier to ride. With the GS, you have a better view of the traffic, because you sit a little higher than on the RT. Both are surprisingly very agile and I'm not surprised that the RT is the choice of police in many countries around the world. Depending on the rider, knowledge and experience, both are suitable for city traffic, but are limited by their size and weight and cannot be compared with scooters or supermotos. In city traffic, in my opinion, you don't need so much power and torque, but rather small size, agility, solid acceleration and a speed of up to 130 km/h.
I thought RT would go slower than GS. How is it in city traffic?
