Hehe
You would be surprised , or maybe not, how much we all have in common.
Particularly as we already have a love/fascination for our Bikes that other people find unfathomable.
Kind of puts us all on a similar wavelength, maybe we are even mostly of a similar age group with shared experiences growing up, i.e FS1E's AP50's then 250 strokers. I'd bet even out tastes in music and lifestyle may have much in common. Who knows.
Now there's a pole idea. B)

For me personally, I could never get the Idea of the Quasar.
Didn't much like the look of the Katana either, but that's not to say they were bad bikes.
each to thier own

Yep a bike that certainly should have stayed on the drawing board, so much so that Triumph used all of their design imagination and capabilities to copy both it, and it's baby brother.Nigel wrote:Yep BMW must be crying into their beer over that one, they must be losing a fortune on it :whistle: and no I`m not biting, say what you like BMW don`t give a feck.sexysi wrote:

Lightness is everything.
Lightness with Grunt is a Scratcher!
An Adventure is not a tank transfer.

GSA was never on a drawing board - it wasn't designed - it evolved over 30+ years (thumbs)mark1150 wrote:Yep a bike that certainly should have stayed on the drawing board, so much so that Triumph used all of their design imagination and capabilities to copy both it, and it's baby brother.Nigel wrote:Yep BMW must be crying into their beer over that one, they must be losing a fortune on it :whistle: and no I`m not biting, say what you like BMW don`t give a feck.sexysi wrote:

Don't most things improve with evolution. :whistle:sidestand wrote:GSA was never on a drawing board - it wasn't designed - it evolved over 30+ years (thumbs)
The GS seems to have improved in sophistication (complication) & in weight, yes it's definately heavier but not a patch on the G/S for reliability.
Perhaps it should have gone ON the drawing board.
