I'm not going to clicky clicky on that link because they probably just go on & on about how crappy that bike is anyway. And I don't want a GS to boot. Yes, that's right! I. DO. NOT. WANT. A. GS!!!
I don't want a GS.
I could care less about owning a GS.
I am not the least bit interested in a GS.
Umm . . . what's a "GS"?!


Whew! http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/knary.gif That was close!!!

Dean loves his - except for the lack of wind/rain protection and he really misses having a cruise. Those are easy fixes. The thing really runs - he hauls butt and spends time on one wheel alot - little showoff that he is, and the right sidecase can hold a 30 pack! So, just Joe, just do it!

Here is another review to tempt you even more:

Quote from the article:
"...the biggest sales points would be the titanic fuel capacity and the rugged, macho looks."

Much better than that whimpy GT!

The Cee Bailey windscreen for the GS is tops, as are the ones for the LT AND the GT. The small winglets (Dave can show you a picture) that come stock with the new GSA are availabe for about 45 bucks, are easy as heck to mount on the standard GS, and go a very long way in weather and noise abatement (wind).
