Hi guys
Been a while but I'm seriously considering getting another GS. I have had an 18 month search trying to find a better bike but have failed after 6 bikes. I still haven't found anything as comfy as the GS BUT............
After having a read on the forum there seems to have been some defectors TO the S10. Now while I cannot fault the bike that fookin seat (and yes I've tried all the mods) is an arse breaker. On the GS I did home to Germany in 1 day. Some 600+ miles. I did a recent trip to Scotland on the S10 where I did 290 miles in a day and had a backside like a baboon!!!! It really is that bad. Now while I could carry on with the S10 and spend a few hundred on a seat that may still not cure the issue. I have added bar risers and Madstad adjusters for the screen and a Givi screen so airflow is fine. I cannot whatever I do stay comfy after an hour on the bike.
Now reliability wise I never had a single issue in over 2 years of ownership with my 1st GS. So that doesn't worry me so much.
Any thoughts would be appreciated especially if you have/have had both bikes.
Cheers
