08 GSA TEST RIDE

[short001]

Took my 1150GSA to the local dealer for a bit of work today and he gave me a 08 1200GSA for an hour.

I must say that I was impressed by the extra power and the way it inspired me with confidence to throw it about. I even managed to scrape the pegs (well nearly) going (far too fast) round a sweeping bend. The thing even managed power wheelies in 2nd.

Food for thought, but I'll be keeping my 1150 for the moment. I'll see what the new 1250GSA is like when it comes out next year.

.......I'd suggest its not the extra 5hp of the '08 that impressed, but the 500kg less that the 1200 weighs compared to the 1150

It has 15 horses more than my 1150, and it's 30kg lighter, I think!

I still think I'll wait for the 1250GSA next year.

amazing what difference that little bit of weight makes.

I'm keeping my 1150 as the only exercise I get is pushing it up the drive
