Title: New garage mate!
Post by: Matt Chapter on October 05, 2021, 11:28:46 AM

My R65 is getting a little long in the tooth and probably should be semi retired while I convert it back to a standard setup.  I've been thinking about taking some longer trips, and bench raced many sport tourers, but this particular model stood out, for some reason.

Say hello to my R65's new garage mate!

Have fun with it!  I really liked mine until my sore left knee started "protesting" about the weight.  I think the ABS stuff causes it to be a bit top-heavy...

You don't know what top heavy is till you try an 1150 GSA.

A friend has an 1100RT, I rode it and he asked me what I thought about the weight. I looked at him blankly untill he explained further. He then threw a leg over the GSA and regards does it from side to side. His comment was "F#ck!".

Funny thing, as you know once you are doing point you don't notice the sight.
