For anyone interested, I finally got to fire up my brand new (but 67 plate) GSA today
100 miles later here's a few thoughts:
At my height of 5' 11" 1/2 the screen doesn't work very well on any setting - it's not really an issue, just a bit annoying.
The seat isn't overly comfortable, but that might be pressure from the seams on me undies.
The handling is sublime - easily the best I've had, and I've had a few over the years - it really does feel like a 125 once on the move.
It's ponderous old bus when moving it around by hand - it's not hard to see why people drop them.
TFT - excellent - crystal clear and informative even in today's 27 deg bright sunlight.
Can't get used to the quick shifter - I like to use a clutch, though this may change over time.
The tyres (Dunlop Roadsmart III's) are excellent - and quieter than I remember the demo bike's AIII's so I'm glad I changed them.
The tank on a GSA is a work of art - the view from the seat over the tank is the sweet spot of the visuals.
Overall a good start and I'm looking forward to some more running in miles over the weekend
