Funny seeing this thread here, I have one of the SM scramblers, and I'm currently flirting with the idea of changing it for a GSA1250 (it would be my 3rd GSA, I had two of the GSA1200's).
I just got back into biking last year after 7y away and thought the SM scrambler looked gorgeous. I'm 6'7" too so need a tall bike and it fits me nicely.
It's a great bike, just sometimes I miss the luggage, shaft-drive, suspension and sheer size/comfort of the GSA.
Decisions, decisions ...
