I parked my RT next to a GSA the other day. The GSA is a big bike in comparison. I don't think I'd want to wrestle one off road, but many do. Unless you need the extra range from a GSA, I'd think the GS would be more manageable. But I haven't ridden either one, so this is just speculation. Good luck.
Prospective GSA owner Intro
Hi, I'm in SoCal and currently ride a Honda NC700 that I purchased in 2012. Optimally would want a bike I can wrench myself as I do now but am aware the newer bikes no longer have manuals to do that which is for me a inconveniences.
Now, going about doing my due diligence towards more travel and moto camping I'm looking into either the 1250 GS or the GSA. I'm 5'9"with a 31"inseam so while I can flat foot the GSA in the showroom, my concerns are how manageable this bike would be should I take it more off road. So, I will be pursuing the threads to gleam recommendations for this bike and accessories. Thanks in advance.

GSA sounds like a perfect fit for you!
The GSA is around 600 lbs and is heavy especially if you want to treck through the woods but since you are 5'9" I wouldn't worry about that too much!
