    Yup, went quick! Dropped it off to the new owner this morning. He's going to love that top end hit, he's a HP guy.

    GS is still en-route. Probably be here by Friday/Saturday.

    Wow, Swift tone had it posted for sale for almost 9 months before you grabbed it. Congrats.

    Looking forward to your test ride report of your new bike.
    When’s the first NESR test ride / ride swap day?

    Re: GS Curious

    Yankee Beemers is having a breakfast Sunday morning at Vanson. Last time we were there they had some terrific closeout deals.

    No club in the world cares less about what you are riding but there will be plenty of GS’s of all sorts as somehow they remain very popular.

    Sunday June 16,2024, 8:30am
    Ride to Eat at the Vanson Leathers
    951 Broadway, Fall River, MA 02724

    Our friends at Vanson are hosting our monthly meeting, great ride in bike show. 50/50 Raffle, club store has T shirts and hats.
    Come one come all, the parking lot fills early. Members lead rides all over southern New England after breakfast.
    All bikes welcome, bring your friends!

    Re: GS Curious

    One hell of a machine.

    Ice cream run done already to Kimballs in Jaffrey.

    This is exactly what I wanted in a bike. Smooth, comfortable, effortless acceleration, absolutely happy to lug around at 3k rpm in 6th gear. Geared REALLY tall in 5th/6th, going to eat highway miles easily.

    The suspension is amazing.

    Stock seat height is lower than the S1kXR and my 890R in track setup. Going to try the Sargent seat on it next.

    Does not feel as heavy as the scales tell you, even with a full tank. Effortless low speed maneuvering.

    Electric motor like torque everywhere. It WILL wheelie.

    Need to get all the recalls done on it, and figure out how to transfer the extended warranty. Probably put some Michelin Road 6's on it once these stock tires are done. They still have the little nubbies on them, all wear is right down the middle at it's 4053 miles.
