The thinking man's Adventure bike (thumbs)
How does it compare to your Tiger?
I prefer my GS800 to the 800 Tiger I used to have pretty much in all departments....except at higher motorway speeds, the GS is a bit coarse at higher revs, the Tiger's engine is way smoother at the top, but the GS has more Torque.

Re: meet bumble
Not sure yet steve how the comparison to the tiger is.it seems very plush and compared to the s10 very light and it handles brilliant.I will probably order a set of hyperpro lowering springs for it around 30mm they do 50mm ones but it just kicks the arse out of the bike and I don't want to do that.seen a couple with the 50 mm and they just don't look right they loose loads of ground clearance.but all in all early signs are good.I will see how good it is when I go to Romania in june.SteveW wrote:The thinking man's Adventure bike (thumbs)

Looks a cracker Tony, you like a change,

Not sure what he'd done to it as far as
Lowering it gos, but he managed his fine.

You could even chase them Ktm's and
Wr's up the lanes on that.

It feels light compared to the s10 it is very plush and seems to handle good.did about 90 miles today and fuel gauge still on full don't know if it's broke.but if it is they will have to fix it.
