not because I have them, can include any other bike for that matter. KTM oke's say they have a grin factor, now, I have rode some and it's not at all that crack up to be, but that's not why I post this. I would really like to know what makes one bike more exciting to ride than another?

Everything equal, just rubbish suspension can't be the problem, although the KLR with surely the worst suspension is actually still a blast to ride on cattle tracks.

The question I am asking is, why is the GS then not fun to ride, what makes it boring? The shock setup, the chassis, the weight, what makes it, less exciting, than for example the KTM, maybe the way the KTM feels like a off-road bike?
