I wish the GTS was "limited" to 155 mph...
This bike is of interest to me anyway, Bob, even if it does have forks and
IMO conservative, unimaginative styling compared to the GTS. Maybe the
styling will grow on me. Bars are too high for me also, but sounds like
they'd suit most on this list.

That's what I like about this list. I'm getting an education. I assumed a
potential rich condition due to the strong smell of gas from the exhaust for
the first few minutes of idle. No visible sign of any smoke. Plugs are
always a nice tan color. Throttle response is good, although the engine

Doubtful, a cold engine tends to run leaner than a hot engine. This is true
to the point that is is used as a diagnostic test for rich lean conditions.

That's about what I see. 45MPG on the open highway and about 31 around
town. I too thought my idle mixture may be off, but haven't had the time to
do any investigation. My GTS seems to run a bit rich when it's cold.

Pictures I've seen before make it pretty clear this is a shafty. Which of

Unfortunatelly I don't find any news on when this machine will be marketed -
