ok, at 71 yrs of age i feel the gs is getting a bit heavy for me. had a 2hr demo run on a 650 vstrom yesterday. great engine although there is a fair bit of vibes at 65+, a lot of noise on my helmet off the screen and the brakes just middling. the bike handled ok for me but the ride is a bit rough on the dual carraigeway but coped with big bumps better.
all in all a good experience and i thought i would be quite happy to get back on the gs for the run home. never before have i felt the weight of the gs as much before and although the gs was better at cruising the main road it felt very unweildy in town compred to the wee.
so guys and girls, how do you find your v's, what is warranty and dealer support like as well as reliability? i must say i am sorely tempted.
i don't want to spend a ton of money on farkles as i may not live long enough to benefit.
i would value your opinions, tia. jags.
