Another test ride

[paddy]

Just been for a test ride on the water cooled.

I currently ride a 13 plate GSA.

I liked the bike. Lighter of course.

Really liked engine, dash, suspension, steering, brakes and riding position.

Gearbox is fine, no false neutrals or missed gears.

Didn't like the switchgear, cheap looking and feeling. Screen smaller ( get used to that) less road presence than my bike but easier to push about and manoeuvre.

So have to see what the PX is like.?

I did the swop.. Not cheap but I think the way to go..
Traded my 2011 GSA & although liked it lots the WC is fun, comfy, manouverable..
I too am no lover of the switch gear, bulky gloves mess with the sat nav controller, so lighter gloves & careful operation does it..
Wouldn't go back to earlier GSA now...

..... less road presence than my bike

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

I'll try to answer that one.. (I'm only guessing tho)

GSA... Big lardy lump, powerful, planted firmly with lights staring forward at you, u can see them a mile off weaving aggressively theough the traffic.. Even me with my GSA in the past move over to the kerb & let them past..

Now my new GSWC on the other hand doesn't have the same 'presence' but it will with a few extras such as the aux lights & anything else I can chuck at it to make the cagers 'respect' or acknowledge me a little more..

Now that is 'respect' or 'prescence' however u wanna see it..!
