It's good! Brilliant in fact!!  I think the RT edges it as a Tourer though.

That has to be one of the most boring roads in the world.  :thumb:
Good things rarely come to those who wait, best go out and get them while you can before it's too late.

2 blokes riding almost exclusively on major roads to go grab a Maccers whilst boring on and on and on about how bloody brilliant their GS would be at all the things they're not using it for. Tick  :stirpot:

Still a great bike though, just a bit too much of a mutual appreciation cult for my liking ;)

* My mate has one, it's clearly brilliant and I am a bit jealous.

 Actually the best bike in the world is the Honda Cub.
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.

Shh, don't disturb Sim's dreams: he's been traumatised enough in his past & we shouldn't make that worse. However, he did well getting past all the suspension & drivetrain failure videos to find that fanboy one.

@ mr_diver "I'll stick with my Honda and Suzuki thanks"  :auto-dirtbike:

That's fine, I accept certain folks have a desire for dull boring Honda's  :thumb:  :haha:
