Me too! Though the more I ride this GS the more I like it... I dare not say more than my S, but I think it may come to that.

Lesson learned though, I'm never running point with only 5 hours of sleep under my belt. I should have said something earlier in the day. I had the physical strength but apparently my CPU was a bit underpowered that day and the bike paid the price for it. I'm fortunate I 'slid' away scot free. ;)

I watched quite a number of you guys switch to GSs now, and I have yet to hear anyone get all misty about the lack of performance. The goat trails beckon ...

Actually, it has more power and that power comes on much earlier. It leads to better 'driveability' thus in daily driving it's far superior than old Oilhead boxer 11S. There, I said it.

The only thing that really kept me from staying with you on the goat trail was the fact that my suspension completely bottomed out, every time I landed... power wise, it would have not been an issue...

But I was dragging hard parts on the UNDERSIDE of the bike... massively. Granted, those shocks had just seen a few miles fully loaded over - at times - rather odd terrain.. but I doubt they are even close to half as good as your suspension when new...

Thank you Roger, that was very kind of you.

Oh yea, did Sergio say garage queen? He's joking right? Gotta know if he's joking before I say any further. :)
