Ralf, I have arthritis, and had one of my knees ripped apart in a nasty crash back in 98... Since I started riding bicycles, I can now ride sport bikes with no knee pain. Go get yourself some exercise.

I had been thinking about some sort of sport bike for a while... not anymore.

While it was fun to ride the 11 again, I also realized that it is not even an extreme sport bike and yet, it gave me knee problems. My GS does not do that.

I am over it!
