> Mike, if you throw the 1150 GS away, make sure you tell me where!
I'm wondering, Roberto, if you've ever ridden one? I had the opportunity to
ride one home this evening as a loaner while the GTS is in the shop getting
its final before-it-runs-out-of-warranty inspection, and I was NOT
impressed. Oh, it's smooth all right (in E gear, overdrive??), and fast
too. I had it up to 65 or 70 before I even realized it. But there is
relatively no wind protection, and the front end doesn't feel planted, and
this is coming from a person who isn't able to feel many of the things
others feel. Also, though the riding position is pretty much
sit-up-straight, which I like, the bars were in the wrong place and made my
arms tired because of that. You can take the handlebar switches, puh-leeze,
(especially the turn signals) and put them where the sun doesn't shine.
Also, it has a buzziness to it, that the GTS simply doesn't have--4 cylinder
smoothness?? perhaps.
I won't be buying one any time soon.
